E18 Fair Trade
E18 Fair Trade
The fair trade movement has so far concentrated mainly on goods that are exported from poorer countries to richer countries. Today, fair trade includes agricultural products as well as traditional handicraft and industrial products and is increasingly expanding to include services in the tourism and IT sectors. Fair trade products were initially sold in organic and world shops, but are now also available in supermarkets and restaurants.
Many organizations are now united under the umbrella of "Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International" (FLO), which was founded in Bonn in 1997. Because it sounds better, this organization is now mostly called "Fairtrade International". It awards the Fairtrade seal according to its own FLO standard.
