The fairtrade mark refers to the Fair Trade Certified Mark, and the International Fairtrade Certification Mark. The former's the Canadian and U.S. equivalent of the latter. Either way, it's a certification mark, an independent guarantee that's owned by Fairtrade Labelling Organizations [FLO] International. It's placed on certain products that are made in Third World countries. Most of the products are fresh food crops such as fruits, nuts, and vegetables. But some of the products are processed foods such as biscuits, cakes, dried fruits, and muesli. There are even non-food products such as flowers and footballs. The mark says that the farmers and other producers who made these products, and who might otherwise be exploited and taken advantage of, are getting their fair share of the profits. For the mark's given as the result of careful monitoring of production, harvesting, marketing, and sales.
