Fairtrade certification In 2009, Fairtrade certified sales amounted to approximately €3.4 billion (US $4.9 billion) worldwide, a 15% increase from 2008.[2] Sales are further expected to grow significantly in the coming years: according to the 2005 Just-Food Global Market Review, Fairtrade sales should reach US$ 9 billion in 2012 and US$ 20-25 billion by 2020.[3] The Fairtrade industry does not reveal how much of this is extra profit to retailers and distributors in rich countries, how much is spent on Fairtrade’s own costs or how much reaches the farmer.

Quel est le meilleur label du commerce équitable ? La grille d'analyse élaborée par la Plate-Forme pour le Commerce Équitable reprend les trois piliers du commerce équitable (dimensions commerciale, éducative et politique) et se décline selon les critères suivants : 1) Critères économiques : prix équitable, prime de développement, préfinancement, traçabilité, etc. ; 2) Critères sociaux : respect des 11 conventions fondamentales de l'OIT, bénéfices sociaux complémentaires ; 3) Autonomie des producteurs et renforcement des organisations de producteurs : appui technique, priorité aux petits producteurs, renforcement des capacités commerciales, etc. ; 4) Critères environnementaux : gestion des sols, du transport, etc. ; 5) Critères de sensibilisation et d'éducation : activité de sensibilisation par le porteur de label. 1er : Naturland Fair Si l'on en croit l'analyse de la Plate-Forme pour le Commerce Équitable, le label Naturland Fair est le plus "équitable". Ce label a été créé en 2010 par l'association internationale Naturland.
