There's always options for businesses that aren't fair trade certified to carry fair trade goods, and that's simply an issue of finding vendors and organizations that sell fair trade goods and just making the decision to carry those things. For a business that's interested in actually being a wholesaler of fair trade goods, the way to work towards that is to be in contact with a fair trade certifier like the fair trade federation or the international fair trade association. Either of those are groups that could provide the resources to figure out what the path would be to be a certified fair trade business.
