Are there organic certified Fair Trade products?

Sam Bills (Manager) gives expert video advice on: What Fair Trade Certified products are available?; Why do some products claim to be Fair Trade but don't carry the mark? and more...

There are organic certified Fair Trade products. I would say on the whole, because of their commitment to using environmentally sustainable production methods, that most Fair Trade products are produced in a way that would be essentially organic if not certified organic. For Fair Trade coffee growers, there is an extra premium that they can receive by getting the organic certification and growing organic certified coffee. So there is the $1.26 a pound bottom price. There's a premium, a social premium, that goes back into re-investing in the community and then there's an extra premium that they can get, so it's a 20 cent premium for growing organic coffee. So there are incentives for Fair Trade growers to switch to certified organic methods and there's also assistance for Fair Trade growers to move towards using organic farming methods. But on the whole Fair Trade products are grown using, if any chemicals, a minimal amount of chemicals, and part of taking care of the environment is certainly moving towards more organic sustainable kinds of production methods.
