Fairtrade Certificate

Each customer granted Fairtrade product certification by FLOCERT receives a certificate. This document is valid for four years (Small Licensees: six years) and indicates either the products that producers are allowed to sell as Fairtrade, or the product category traders are allowed to buy as Fairtrade.
