Fairtrasa exports the finest organic fruit and wine from Latin America's and India's small family farms. In 2004, we pioneered the sale of the first fairtrade & organic avocados from Mexico and in 2005 we crafted the first fairtrade wine from Argentina. Since then, we have partnered with hundreds of producers in Argentina, Peru and Southeast Asia to distribute
fairtrade and
organic wine,
mangos,
limes,
grapefruits,
coconut and other fruits, spices, oil nuts and hot beverages to over a dozen countries across Europe and North America.
Our mission is to create a sustainable business model for small, marginalized growers while protecting the environment and promoting social development. Hampered by lack of funds, squeezed by middlemen and lacking access to markets, small producers are losing to large agribusinesses. The poor are getting poorer and abandoning their traditional way of life and fleeing to the cities or across the border.
Fairtrasa helps marginalized producers compete in the globalized economy by providing financing and professional agricultural knowledge. We develop missing infrastructure and find conscientious markets around the world for their products. We work with them to meet rigorous food safety, fruit quality and traceability standards.
Fairtrasa created a sustainable
empowerment program for small producers that provide them with all the relevant knowledge and information for their professional, economical and personal development. Fairtrasa is dedicated to increasing our base of farmers and helping growers develop entrepreneurial skills. Worldwide, small producers will apply our sustainable business framework by using trade to achieve economic, social and environmental progress.
Fairtrade premiums generated from our produce have helped build schools, supplied remote villages with water, repaired impassable roads, preserved cultural traditions, provided schools with computers and funded medical needs.
Purchasing a Fairtrasa product is a direct contribution to environmental stewardship, uplifting struggling communities and empowering small growers.
