Fair Trade and organic certification often go hand in hand. Currently more than 60 percent of Fair Trade Certified coffee in the United States is also certified organic. Why? Farmers want to ensure that their products receive the best price, and TransFair USA’s licensees want to bring the best quality products to consumers. Since Fair Trade offers a price above the market price, plus a premium, and and that premium is increased if the products are organic, it is not surprising that farmers produce organic products that are also Fair Trade Certified. In both scenarios, everyone wins: High-quality products are brought to consumers, fair wages are paid to farmers in return, and sustainable practices are used to reduce impact on the environment!

If you support the union of Fair Trade and organic, why not make a donation to TransFair USA with a Gift of Fairness that helps this effort? The Give consumers Fair Trade and Organic Options gift aids in TransFair USA’s continuing effort to provide producers with the option of receiving higher premiums for their goods if they switch to organic.

So, give a gift to your health and the planet’s health by contributing today!
