How do you know it's fair trade?
Aug 18th 2010
From The Globe and Mail
(1)
Jeff Geipel shops for groceries with an eagle eye. The Vancouver waiter is looking for labels
showing that the items he buys are made with good labour practices, environmental sustainability,
democratic practices and fair prices paid to farmers and producers.
(2)
For Mr. Geipel, the executive director of Fair Trade Vancouver, a volunteer group, the labels
showing products are certified as fair trade are helpful seals of approval for consumers with
consciences.
(3)
The labels correspond to the registration of products and producers by TransFair Canada, the
national certifier for fair trade, as well as Fair Trade Labelling Organizations International (FLO), the
global umbrella fair trade organization to which TransFair belongs. The labels of the two bodies
show that a product is certified and complies with fair trade standards.
(4)
Among the fair trade-certified and labelled goods now on store shelves are coffee, by far the
most common product line, as well as chocolate, herbs, fresh fruits, nuts, cosmetics and wine. Many
come from small independent companies, but giants such as Cadbury Adams Canada Inc. also
feature fair trade labels on some items.
(5)
The labelling of fair trade goods began in 1988 with the establishment of international
organizations governing fair trade and grew into a rigorous certification system focused on producers
of goods. “It's a way for consumers to know that a third-party check has been put onto the product to
ensure it meets fair trade standards,” Mr. Zelmer explains.
(6)
Products also must comply with a host of other requirements. For example, a “composite
product policy” governs the exact content of fair trade ingredients in certified goods. “We don't want
products to be labelled as fair trade if there's a minuscule amount of fair trade content,” he adds.
(7)
Making products that are certified and labelled as fair trade is a long, complex and costly
process. Brooks Pepperfire Foods Inc., a maker of spicy jarred foods and fresh specialty chili peppers
from all over the world, so far has 17 products bearing the fair trade label but only those with
significant chocolate, sugar and coffee content, says Tina Books, the company's vice-president of
marketing. Chilies have yet to become fair trade items.
(8)
Brooks and her husband Greg, who started the company six years ago, are working to bring
their chili suppliers up to fair trade standards. However, for some farmers the $5,000 price-tag of
actual registration is prohibitive. Danielle Marchessault of Equicosta Inc., an importer of organic and
fair trade bananas, says the labelling is important to stores – including a growing number of
supermarket chains.
(9)
“When you're fair trade-certified there are some rules,” she says, adding that labelling is an
education for consumers. “The label means never losing the spirit of fair trade, it's about paying the
right price, sustaining the environment, maintaining human rights.”
(10)
As more and more products are registered and labelled as fair trade, it is increasingly possible
to find them even in mainstream stores, says Fair Trade Vancouver's Jeff Geipel. The group's website
features a chart and a point-and-click map for finding stores that carry fair trade goods and showing
what products they carry, which is helpful for shoppers.
(11)
Mr. Geipel adds that he would like to see more of the labels, although much will depend on
education and the sensitivity of the general public about the issue, especially as fair trade goods
come at a greater cost in tough economic times. “It's a challenge,” he adds.
