More on Fair Trade criteria
important guidelines, but without dogmatism
For a reasonable choice of producers and products need criteria reflecting our concern for sustainable human development and reducing inequality. These are the guidelines that allow you to examine to what extent a project or initiative contributes to development. The criteria express a view that is not necessarily equal to or better than the producer. A well-formulated set of criteria is a necessary point of support if we While our efforts and invest resources.

really any group of producers responding 100% to our criteria. Will always need to think about the pros and cons. In addition, projects and organizations are not buildings in a vacuum. Were developed in a political context and socio-economic. It is this context that ultimately determines what are the criteria that we apply and to what extent a project expected to meet the criteria.
are four kinds of criteria set out respectively:

• The social significance of associated
• The internal organization of associated
• The location of the product development process
• The possibility of selling the product on the market
A. Social significance associated
1) A good initiative reinforces the social and economic integrity of the producers .
• Is there a principle of emancipation and structural improvements?
• Will the initiative combats the symptoms and causes of problems?
• Are we looking for solutions to defective or operating structures in the retail broker, finance, transport, etc..?
• Is the initiative as an approach comprehensive attention to training, political awareness, school education, public health, housing, emancipation, etc..?
2) The initiative provides preferential opportunities to people who have minimal purchasing power, the oppressed or marginalized groups in society.
3) In principle, the initiative is open to new members who share the objectives of the organization
• It is important for the group or organization working together with other initiatives that are bent also in the social emancipation oppressed or marginalized groups.
B. Internal Organization of the associate
The following 5 points are of great importance.
1) A professional management
• A development project that lack the professionalism produces a mirage of false promises to the producers, and over has a demotivating effect. So the importance of sound financial management, a strict quality control, technical training of producers, product development, market research, etc.
2) A price / fair wage for work done by the producers
• Trial level price or wage is not obvious. It is necessary to take into account several elements such as internal purchasing power of money received, pay money in similar sectors and situations, the commercial value of products, the degree of difficulty of the work, the number of hours worked, other advantages that benefit producers, etc.
3) decent working conditions
• Is there a concern for safety, hygiene conditions in which producers work? Is there an effort to improve working conditions, union rights, social security for farmers?
4) All partners also have the right to decide policies and objectives of the organization
• What is it that the producers can say about the cost of any benefits, investment plans, production processes, distribution of tasks, the course of everyday things, and so on.?
• To what extent the producers are interested in developing the project, the company?
5) A sensible destination of any benefits
• Are divided equally among all members?
• Are invested in developing the project?
• Are support similar initiatives?
C. Place the product development process
1) The product is not in any way impair the supply of the local population.
2) The more value added product has a delivery time of more help to local development.
• A finished product is, in most cases, an advantage for the producer. Each stage in the production process that unfolds in the place of origin creates a job, income, etc.
3) A clean production is an important asset.
• Are the raw materials are clean?
• Does the packaging is recyclable and / or harmless to the environment?
• Does the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers is kept as low as possible?
D. The possibility of selling the product on the market
1) The products are only output if they are of good quality
• Quality standards are related to both the nutritional value, taste, health requirements, conservation , packaging, etc..
• We must naturally also take into account the technical difficulties of producers.
2) A good relationship between price and quality improves sales opportunities
• If a product is too expensive, it is virtually unmarketable and not help our partner if we put on the market. In this case it is better to invest our limited resources on other products.
3) It is clear that the demand for a product in the market should be sufficient for the profitable sale
