Fairtrade Chocolate & Cocoa
While most people enjoy chocolate, it’s no treat for the hundreds of thousands of labourers who pick the cocoa that goes into some of our favourite sweets.
Children and other workers are forced to work long days picking and processing cocoa beans (it takes 400 of these pods to make just one pound of chocolate) and very little of the profit goes to the farmers who grow the cocoa beans.The difficulty in making a living at cocoa farming has spawned an increase in child and even slave labour.
Fairtrade cocoa offers farmers an opportunity to make a real living, and provides consumers a trusted guarantee that no forced or abusive child labour was used in the making of the product.
Chocolate, chocolate drinks, and cocoa made from Fairtrade certified cocoa and Fairtrade certified sugar were introduced to the ANZ market in 2005 with great success.
A range of Easter Eggs made from Fairtrade certified cocoa was launched in Australia and New Zealand in time for Easter 2007.
For more information on cocoa, see the FLO website here.
Go here to read more about the issues and Fairtrade impacts associated with cocoa and chocolate production, including watching a short video online by Reuters on cocoa production in Ghana.

Fairtrade Coffee
Fairtrade certified coffee is by far the most prominent Fairtrade product in the Australian and New Zealand market. It represents more than 80% of Fairtrade sales and more than 80% of the companies involved in Fairtrade in ANZ trade in coffee.

Fairtrade Cotton
Garments made from Fairtrade Certified cotton became available in Australia and New Zealand mid 2006, following the adoption of Fairtrade standards for cotton in 2004 and the growth of Fairtrade cotton markets in Europe.
Garments made from Fairtrade Certified cotton carry a slight variation of the standard FAIRTRADE Label - it has a 'Certified Cotton' tag as well.
Fairtrade Certified cotton addresses the development needs of small holder cotton farmers in developing countries who are facing poverty, in part because of subsidies provided by some Western nations to their cotton growers that distort global markets. Fairtrade certification ensures that these farmers receive a fair price for their cotton and a Fairtrade premium for them to invest in social, environmental and economic development of their communities. In order to qualify for Fairtrade certification, the producers must demonstrate they meet the minimum Fairtrade standards on various social and environmental measures.
You can read the Fairtrade Standards for cotton here:
Also read this overview of Fairtrade Certified cotton (600kb, pdf).
Companies selling clothes made with Fairtrade Certified cotton are also required to register all steps in the supply chain and provide evidence that labour standards have been adhered to in the factories where the clothes are made. However, at this stage we cannot guarantee that all garments made with Fairtrade Certified cotton are ‘sweat free’ and made under conditions that empower workers. Additionally, the economic benefits of Fairtrade - the price and premium - are only being paid to the cotton producers.
The Fairtrade Labelling Organisation is holding discussions with unions, NGOs and other stakeholders with the goal of developing mechanisms which can better audit and guarantee sweat free garment supply chains.
If you would like to more information about Fairtrade certification of cotton, and its relationship to the garment supply chain, please contact Cameron Neil via audit@fairtrade.com.au.

Fairtrade Rice
More than a billion people - predominantly small farmers in the South - make their living mainly or even exclusively from rice production. These small farmers often have it tough due to the practice of 'dumping' rice from subsidised crops in highly efficient producer countries at below production costs in their domestic markets. This means that in many regions it is becoming increasingly difficult, if not completely impossible, to sell domestic rice at sustainable prices.
In addition, farmers struggle with steadily rising prices for “improved” seeds and the associated agricultural chemicals. To buy these, farmers often have to take out loans and, once in debt, very few ever manage to free themselves from the vicious circle of indebtedness; ultimately, they are often forced to sell what little land they own.
In 2000, FLO took the first steps towards the introduction of the Faitrade Standard for Rice to open up new markets for the benefit of small farmers. Today a total of 15 rice producer organizations in Thailand, India, Egypt and Laos are Fairtrade Certified.
Fairtrade certified rice is available in small quantities in Australia and New Zealand via cross-border sales from other markets.

Fairtrade Sportballs
Sport balls were the first non-food product which was Fairtrade Certified. The movement toward Fairtrade Certification of sport balls began in 2001, and was a logical progression from the elimination of child labor in the soccer ball industry in Pakistan.
Fairtrade certified sportsballs are available in Australia and New Zealand, having been launched here during the Football World Cup in 2006.

Fairtrade Tea
Fairtrade certified tea was, along with coffee, the first Fairtrade product introduced in to the Australian and New Zealand market back in October 2003.
Fairtrade Certification for Tea means that:
- The garden where the tea is grown meets specific criteria for the wages, living situation, and working conditions of its pickers.
- The tea is directly purchased from the plantation or co-operative.
- The price paid for Fairtrade tea should cover the production costs in addition to a Fairtrade Premium of 50 cents to US$1 per kilo on top of the market price.
- For every tea purchase, this Fairtrade Premium goes directly back to the tea pickers themselves. For plantations, a committee called a Joint Body, elected by the workers, decides how these funds will be used to meet the community's needs. Both tea cooperatives and plantations have used the Fairtrade Premiums to hire school teachers, build maternal health clinics, and bring electricity to their villages, among other projects.
For More Information on Fairtrade Tea see the FLO website here.

Fair trade suppliers
Through our supplier database, you can search for specific products and for information on companies and organisations that provide fairly traded products to wholesale and retail clients.
The search function has three different categories that you can search on, individually, or in combination:
Location
Product
Supplier
With Location, you can specify a particular area - country, state, city, region - where you want to be buy fair trade products. If you want to search for multiple locations, you just need to hold down the control key while you make your selection. If you don't select a location, it will give you all suppliers that match your other criteria.
With Product, you can specify a particular product you are looking for, e.g. coffee. Alternatively, you can search for any product by not selecting a product, or you can search on multiple products, again by holding down the control key while you select with the mouse.
Finally, with Supplier, you can determine how you want to buy your fair trade product. If you are an individual consumer, or an organisation looking to procure fair trade products for your workplace, you will most likely be looking for retail suppliers, who can sell you packaged, ready to go, products such as ground coffee, boxes of tea bags, chocolate, drinking cocoa or crafts.
If you yourself are a retailer, you may be interested in finding out where you can buy wholesale fair trade products. You can select "Wholesaler" and get a list of companies that you can contact.
Finally, if you are a wholesaler wanting to get in to fair trade, you may wish to find out who the importers are in Australia and New Zealand. You can select "Importer" and get a list of these businesses and organisations.
Once you get your search results, you can re-order them by Name or Suburb, by clicking on the word "Name" or "Suburb" at the top of the table of results.
You can search through the results by using the navigation tools below the search results.
Click on the name of a particular company to learn more about them, what fair trade products they sell, and how you can contact them.
Please note that the listing of an organisation or company in this database does not imply endorsement of that company or guarantee anything in relation to that groups commitment to fair trade practices, beyond that implied by either their sale of Fairtrade certified and labelled goods, or their status as an IFAT Fair Trade Organisation. With respect to those organisations trading in Fairtrade Labelled goods, always look for the Label and ask for Fairtrade.

Procurement Guide
The procurement guide has been compiled to meet the needs of councils, government departments, schools, workplaces, and other business buyers of Fairtrade certified tea and coffee. It is designed to give you the necessary contact details to enable you to further your enquiries.
Stockists are listed alphabetically by location within a state or territory. Some businesses can deliver country-wide, so in addition to the local businesses you will find a second listing of interstate businesses which can supply to your state / territory. Descriptions in the listings should give you a good idea as to whether a stockist can meet your needs.
When using the guide, bear in mind that many of the suppliers listed stock conventionally traded products as well as Fairtrade products, whereas a few sell exclusively Fairtrade products. To be certain you are ordering Fairtrade, please specify "Fairtrade certified" when ordering.

Step One: Review Information

Here are links to the most important and relevant information on the Fairtrade Certification and Labelling system internationally:
Here are links to relevant information for Australia & New Zealand:
Step Two: Apply
If after reviewing the information, you decide to become a Fairtrade licensee, you will need to complete a Fairtrade License Application Form.
Write to admin@fairtrade.com.au or call +61 3 9662 2919 for a form or download it here:
Fairtrade Licensee Application Form (Word document, 97kb)
There are no application fees. License applications may take up to 4 weeks to be approved.
If you are unsure about whether you need to become licensed, or have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Step Three: Product Registration
Fairtrade Labelling Australia & New Zealand licenses the use of the FAIRTRADE Label on products. We do not license a whole company or endorse their general practices.
Therefore, we will need to know the details of the products you wish to have licensed, including the supply chain back to the original producer. The two key elements we check is to ensure that the original producer organisation is Fairtrade certified and that they have been paid the Fairtrade price and premium for the particular product to be sold to your business. For a product to carry the FAIRTRADE Label, the complete supply chain from the producer organisation to you needs to be transparent and registered under the Fairtrade system.
Fairtrade Labelling ANZ can provide you with information on your importer options for the product you are interested in, or you can search our database for current importers on our website http://www.fairtrade.com.au/?q=locator. For overseas suppliers, you should contact our office.
Once we receive your application form, we will call you to discuss what products you are developing and their supply chain.
Step Four: Sign The Licence Agreement
Once we confirm that your supply chain meets international Fairtrade Certification standards, we will send you a License Agreement.
Once you have signed this and returned it to us, your business becomes a Fairtrade licensed company.
You will be given a unique Fairtrade identification number and you will become authorised to buy Fairtrade Certified ingredients from Fairtrade registered suppliers.
You will get access to all the services we offer and you will be eligible to apply the FAIRTRADE Label to all of the products that you have registered with us.
Someone from Fairtrade Labelling ANZ will be in touch with you to welcome you to the system, provide you with the latest information on Fairtrade, and let you know about the range of resources you are able to access.
Step Five: Get Your Packaging Approved
The final step is to ensure that your packaging and promotional materials meet Fairtrade requirements. These requirements are simple, and are laid out clearly in instruction manuals which you or your designer will need to read. We will provide you with high-resolution artwork of the FAIRTRADE Label, and our licensing team are on hand to assist you. Once your designs are approved…
you are set to go!
You can download these steps as a pdf file here (pdf, 38kb)
Where Do The License Fees Go?
Organisations that are licensed to use the FAIRTRADE Label on their products pay Fairtrade Labelling ANZ a percentage of the sales value of their Fairtrade products. Fairtrade Labelling ANZ is a not for private profit company and these fees are reinvested in the Fairtrade system, to the benefit of licensees and developing country producers, in the following ways:
1. A portion of license fees are used to pay for the monitoring and verification, in Australia and New Zealand, of the guarantees given to consumers with respect to the FAIRTRADE Label to ensure ongoing consumer confidence in the integrity of the Fairtrade Labelling system. This includes:
desk audit of quarterly reports,
inspections of licensed operators,
reviewing and approving product packaging and promotional use of the FAIRTRADE Label to ensure consistent use, and
verification and approval of product supply chains before licensing the use of the Label.
2. A percentage of license fees are paid to Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO) by Fairtrade Labelling ANZ to assist in covering the costs of:
producer development work,
certification of producers and traders,
review and development of Fairtrade standards and policy,
continuous improvements in the global Fairtrade system,
the development of new Fairtrade products, and
other general costs of running a robust independent third party verification system that inspires the confidence of stakeholders and delivers poverty eradication and sustainable development to producers and communities in developing countries.
3. License fees are also spent on developing and providing point of sale promotional materials on Fairtrade Labelling that are available for use by licensees, e.g. window stickers, brochures, posters etc.
4. License fees also contribute to funding the work of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand in educating the public and promoting the FAIRTRADE Label to help grow the market for Fairtrade products and ultimately increase the sales of Fairtrade products in Australia and New Zealand. This includes:
maintaining the website with information on fair trade and a searchable database of where consumers can buy Fairtrade Labelled products,
organising and coordinating events like Fair Trade Fortnight each year,
assisting with negotiations and promotions with big retail chains, and
projects that support producers to bring new fair trade products to market.

Trading in IFAT Products
Trading in IFAT Fair Trade Products
Traders looking for fair trade sources for products can source an excellent and varied selection, including giftware, household goods, furniture, garments, jewellery, food and beverages, from IFAT members around the globe - all 100% fair trade.
Importing from IFAT members in developing countries gives traders access to the very source of the product, reducing unnecessary links in the supply chain and providing the security of knowing exactly where products are coming from. The IFAT Catalogue of Catalogues, developed by Peoplink, allows traders to search thousands of products of participating IFAT producer members from one point at http://catgen.com/ifat.
If particular products cannot be found there, a query can be broadcast in IFAT’s fortnightly Members' Update by contacting IFAT at www.ifat.org/contacts.shtml.
Producer members that can help (including those that do not participate in the Catalogue of Catalogues) can then get in touch with prospective buyers directly.
Traders who do not wish to import directly, along with consumers looking for Fair Trade products, can purchase from IFAT members in their own country, assuring a Fair Trade supply chain from the producers to the buyers.
See the list of IFAT members in Australia & New Zealand and search our product database for IFAT goods.
More info at www.ifat.org/sourcing.shtml.
Learn more about IFAT here.
Other ethically traded products
The searchable database only includes Fairtrade certified products and products made by IFAT members as participants in these systems have to demonstrate compliance with fair trade standards and principles through external verification checks.
Given this, the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand cannot directly endorse other products including those sold by FTAANZ members as "fair trade".
We encourage consumers to ask companies about the principles and standards behind any fair trade or ethical product claims as well as how such claims can be verified.
The following are some websites of FTAANZ members who sell various products which may include some not currently linked to the FLO or IFAT systems. Please ask them about their own ethical trading policies and how any ethical product claims can be verified.
