A list of Fair Trade Products

Sunday, 07 October 2007

The Fairtrade Labelling Organization (FLO) sets standards for a wide variety of fair trade products. However, each of these products are not necessarily available in every country. Further fair trade product standards are set out by other fair trade certification bodies like the Institute of Marketecology (IMO).
