Overview
The Choice Is Yours
Look for the FAIRTRADE Mark when you shop – there are thousands of certified products available across Canada. We’re not just about coffee – we also certify chocolate, tea, fruit, flowers, textiles, and many other products. Explore the sections below to learn how Fairtrade works in different areas, and see how the people behind your favourite products experience real impact.
Cocoa
The Fairtrade Standards prohibit the use of child labour on certified cocoa farms, making your chocolate taste sweeter.
Coffee
Fairtrade’s Minimum Price and Premium empower small-scale coffee farmers to earn sustainable incomes in an unstable market.
Cotton
The growing demand for Fairtrade fabrics means tangible change for cotton farmers and textile workers in India and other countries.
Flowers
Workers on Fairtrade flower farms receive higher incomes, and benefit from better health and safety conditions.
Sugar
Fairtrade works with cooperatives of small-scale sugar farmers to expand their access to global markets.
Tea
Small-scale tea farmers are supported with our Standards for sustainable production, while workers on large estates see improved labour rights.
Other Products
Fairtrade is about far more than coffee, tea, and chocolate. You can find the FAIRTRADE Mark on a wide range of other products, from gold rings to soccer balls.
