Trading in WFTO Products

 
You may wish to trade in products from World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) members that fall outside the scope of FLO Fairtrade Certification and labelling, such as handicrafts or jewellery.
 
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 WFTO members around the globe - all 100% fair trade.
 
Importing from WFTO 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 WFTO website offers the possibility to search their database of members.  If particular products cannot be found there, a query can be broadcast in WFTO’s fortnightly Members' Update by contacting WFTO.  Producer members that can help can then get in touch with prospective buyers directly.
 
Traders who do not wish to import directly, along with consumers looking for WFTO Fairtrade products, can purchase from WFTO members in their own country, assuring a fair trade supply chain from the producers to the buyers.
