The Co Operative claim to be the leader in the introduction of fair trade products
The international movements began with two religious organizations, the Mennonite Central Committee in 1946, and SERRV International (Church of the Brethren) in 1949. A third religious group, the Quakers, established the first Alternative Trading Organization (ATO) in 1965 under the auspices of Oxfam (Oxford Committee for Family Relief). The first international organization was the European Fair Trade Association established in 1987 and formally incorporated in 1990.

The most popular country for fair trade support is often considered to be the United Kingdom. The UK has a strong consumer base for fair trade products, with well-established organizations and a significant number of certified fair trade goods available in stores. Additionally, public awareness campaigns and events like Fair Trade Fortnight have helped to foster a culture of ethical consumerism. Other countries with notable fair trade support include Germany and the United States, but the UK remains a leader in this movement.
Fair trade did not originate in Britain, but the concept gained significant traction there. The modern fair trade movement began in the 1940s and 1950s, with early initiatives in the United States and the Netherlands. However, Britain played a crucial role in popularizing fair trade through organizations like the Fairtrade Foundation, established in 1992, which helped to expand the movement globally. Thus, while Britain was influential, fair trade has diverse roots across multiple countries.
