How to become a Fairtrade Trader

Conformity to Fairtrade Standards is checked on every stage of supply chain from producer to licensee, therefore every actor of the process is required to have a FLOCERT ID, and is audited against the Fairtrade Standards.

Traders are usually companies who sell unfinished Fairtrade products, raw materials and ingredients to other Fairtrade registered companies who are either also acting as traders or are licensees making a final Fairtrade product. In order to become a Fairtrade trader, the company must apply for FLO-CERT ID. All the traders are audited by FLO-CERT commission.

Entities performing following activities must be registered as a Trader:

• Processor/Manufacturer
