Along with product expansion, 92 new producer groups joined the Fair Trade system in 2010, representing an additional 140,000 farmers. New coffee groups accounted for nearly 30 percent of the total growth. Our U.S. business partners expanded their purchases as well, sourcing certified goods from a new total of 878 producer organizations in 70 countries around the world.
As these numbers reveal, Fair Trade certification helps farmers, industry partners and consumers alike make every purchase matter, contributing to the long-term sustainability of farming communities around the world. In just 12 years, we've established the Fair Trade Certified label as the leading mark of sustainability and responsible sourcing. Today, it assures consumers that the quality products they purchase are improving lives and protecting the environment.
