An innovative, international NGO facilitating Fair Trade and Social Responsibility certification.

𝐒𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
FairTSA ensures that the community development associated with our work is accountable and sustainable. To this end, FairTSA has developed its own community development training program and leverages certifiers' networks, qualified indigenous personnel, and collaborating NGOs to support producer communities in efforts to create decent living conditions while empowering the local communities through the democratic processes.

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐬
Often, Fair Trade and Social Responsibility certifications leave the small producers alone in trying to cope with requirements that are based on our Western, document- centered "standard and control" culture. When this Western culture meets people in a mostly oral or traditional culture, the results can clash, and mutual misunderstandings are not uncommon. Therefore, we offer our producers support even before they sign up with us - from free seminars, to the assignment of a Producer Relations Manager to help guide through the process.

𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝
We are the only Fair Trade standard holder with an "open" certification system, meaning that every certifier who is interested in working with our standard can do so, provided that they comply with our basic requirements.

Last Friday, we participated in Expoalimentaria 2026 in Lima, Perú, one of the leading food and beverage trade fairs in Latin America. The event brought together producers, exporters, buyers, and other key stakeholders from the food and beverage industry, providing an excellent opportunity to engage with industry representatives and gain insight into current market trends. During our visit, we also strengthened our relationships with several certification agencies accredited by FairTSA and engaged with Peruvian agricultural producers to introduce them to the benefits of our Fair Trade program

Exploitation of farmers growing bananas is rampant. At FairTSA, we work to help change this. We created the FairTSA Social Responsibility Program. Certification requires a safe occupational environment and the absence of child labor.

We work to build strong relationships, listen to our partners, and find solutions together. This is how we create meaningful and lasting change throughout the supply chain.
