Fair Trade Standards and Requirements
Public Consultation: Agricultural Production Standard
Fair Trade USA is conducting a review of the Agricultural Production Standard to ensure it continues to deliver impact for producers and meets evolving market needs. The purpose of this consultation is to gather feedback on specific proposals. Your input is vital to ensure our standards remain robust, practical, and inclusive. The Public Consultation will be open for your feedback until May 15th 2026.
Rigorous Fair Trade standards are the way we help brands meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, and fulfill our mission to deliver benefits to producers, businesses, and consumers. We have different standards to address the various parts of businesses’ supply chains. If you have comments about Fair Trade Certified requirements, standards, or policy, or for a hard copy, email our Standards team.
