International Fair Trade Association

The International Fair Trade Association (IFTA) is an organization that supports and promotes fair trade practices worldwide. It works to ensure producers in developing countries receive fair wages, work in good conditions, and gain access to global markets. By certifying and encouraging ethical trading, IFTA helps small-scale farmers and artisans sell their products directly to consumers or retailers, often at better prices. The goal is to promote sustainable development, empower marginalized communities, and foster transparency and equity in international trade. Essentially, IFTA advocates for fair and responsible trading to benefit both producers and consumers.
