Buying Fair Trade Products

Through the online search function you can find where to buy Fairtrade certified products bearing the international FAIRTRADE Label as well as products available from IFAT member organisations. Both these systems include verification checks to FLO Fairtrade Standards and IFAT fair trading principles to ensure that such products really are fairly traded.

Consumers can search for their nearest shop or café while retailers can search for wholesalers and distributors carrying fair trade products. Of course, if your regular shop doesn't carry fairly traded products, you can always ask them to and point them to this site for more information.
