  • Fairtrade certification (Fairtrade, known as Fair Trade Certified in the United States and Canada) is a product certification system designed to allow people to identify products that meet agreed environmental, labour and developmental standards. Overseen by a standard-setting body, FLO International, and a certification body, FLO-CERT, the system involves independent auditing of producers to ensure the agreed standards are met. Companies offering products that meet the Fairtrade standards may apply for licences to use the Fairtrade Certification Mark (or, in North America, the applicable Fair Trade Certified Mark) for those products. The FLO International Fairtrade certification system covers a growing range of products, including bananas, honey, oranges, cocoa, coffee, shortbread, cotton, dried and fresh fruits and vegetables, juices, nuts and oil seeds, quinoa, rice, spices, sugar, tea and wine. In 2008, Fair trade certified sales amounted to approximately €2.9 billion (US $4.08 billion) worldwide, a 22% year-to-year increase. Sales are further expected to grow significantly in the coming years: according to the 2005 Just-Food Global Market Review, Fairtrade sales should reach US$ 9 billion in 2012 and US$ 20-25 billion by 2020. As of December 2008, 746 producer organizations in 58 developing countries were FLO-CERT Fairtrade-certified.
  • 公平貿易認證（通常簡稱Fairtrade或在美國稱作Fair Trade Certified™）的是一種產品認證的體系，其設計的目的是為了讓人們辨別該產品符合下列標準：環保、勞動人權以及第三世界的發展利益。這個體系由兩個單位負責執行：FLO International是標準訂定的單位，FLO-CERT是認證授權的單位；這個認證體系對生產者進行獨立的審查，以確保達成商定的標準。販售公平貿易商品的公司，必須符合公平貿易認證的標準，並且申請成為特許銷售商(licences)才可以使用公平貿易的商標在自己的商品上。 FLO International的認證體系涵蓋了日益廣泛的產品，包括香蕉、蜂蜜、橘子、可可、棉花、乾果、新鮮水果、蔬菜、果汁、堅果、油籽、藜麥、稻米、香料、糖、茶葉和葡萄酒。 公平貿易認證的商品在2005年在全世界的銷售總額大約是11億歐元，相較於前一年的業績，年成長率為37%。在未來幾年內，銷售額度可望進一步成長：根據2005年所發佈的全球糧食市場調查，公平貿易的銷售額預估將在2012年達到90億美金，在2020年達到200-250億美金之譜。 根據2006年10月的資料，已經有分佈在58個發展中國家的586個生產者組織加入公平貿易體系並取得FLO-CERT的認證。
