Fair Trade Certified Products

Because the goal of Fair Trade is to improve the position of disadvantaged producers in the developing countries, Fair Trade products are typically agricultural products, ranging from coffee, cocoa, tea, sugar, rice, fresh fruit, juices, rice, honey, wine to flowers. Manufactured products are also being considered for certification. Soccer balls and t-shirts are some of the manufactured products certified by FLO ( Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International).
