While there are several definitions of fair trade, they all include: Fair Trade Price: base price for raw ingredients or goods is adjusted higher than open market price. Price Premium: a percentage above the base fair trade price is paid into a separate account for development projects in producer communities. Working Conditions: fair trade operators must adhere to basic human & labor rights, including the right to organize, no child labor, access to health care, and so on. Environmental Stewardship: fair trade organizations must minimize environmental impact. To Alaffia, fair trade means paying a fair price or wage in the local context, providing equal employment opportunities, engaging in environmental sustainable practices, providing healthy and safe working conditions, being open to public accountability, and reducing the number of middlemen between producers & consumers. They believe fair trade should be environmentally, economically, and culturally sustainable and give local communities the opportunity to self-empower. Alaffia Fair Trade Shea & Coconut The cost to handcraft shea butter and coconut oil at the Alaffia Cooperative is over two times the price of these same butters at West African ports. Why is Alaffia's cost higher? Nut prices: Alaffia pays 15-25% above market price for shea nuts. Fair wages: Their cooperative members receive a salary more than 4 times the average family income in Togo. Benefits: Cooperative members also receive full medical care, employment security, and one month of paid vacation each year. What Does Fair Trade Mean? Fair trade certification is an independent, neutral third party certification verifying an organization upholds fair trade, social, and environmental standards in their operations. Alaffia is certified Fair for Life: Social & Fair Trade by IMO (Institute for Marketecology), one of the first and most renowned international inspection & certification agencies for organic and social (fair trade) accountability. IMO's Fair for Life certification combines strict social and fair trade standards with adaptability to local conditions.
