About Laos Fair Trade

Fair Trade Laos was established by a small group of motivated business people and NGOs that see the potential of Fair Trade to improve producers’ and farmers’ lives and at the same time offer customers a high quality product. Since many of the smaller producers are not able to afford the costs of international certification, the group considers developing a Laos Fair Trade Certificate, which will follow the criteria of the two main Fair Trade certification organisations. That way, the international certification could be obtained at a later stage.
