An overview of Fairtrade’s impact
Delve into key figures to explore how Fairtrade works to share the benefits of global trade more equally.
We work towards lasting sustainable change for farmers and workers in key areas including:
Sustainable, resilient livelihoods
Decent work
Gender equity and social inclusion
Environmental sustainability
Sustainable, resilient and fairer supply chains
Achieving meaningful impact in these areas requires significant systemic shifts, as the power imbalances in global trade have been deeply ingrained since the colonial era. We acknowledge the complexity and interconnectedness of the challenges Fairtrade seeks to tackle. This makes it even more important to diligently track our progress through various metrics, so our approach is well-informed and can continuously be improved

Benefits from Fairtrade sales and Premium
The more farmers and workers can sell on Fairtrade terms, the more they benefit economically.
Producers earned more than €220 million in Fairtrade Premium in 2022. The Fairtrade Premium is an extra sum of money, paid on top of the selling price, that farmers or workers invest in projects of their choice.
