Fairtrade Original Cacao

Fairtrade Original is a pioneering brand based in the Netherlands, recognized as the world's first fair trade organization, founded in 1959. The cacao powder featured in the image is part of their extensive range of food products sourced from farmers and producers in developing countries under ethical trade conditions.

The brand focuses on direct collaboration with farmers to ensure fair pay and sustainable development. While the raw cacao beans are sourced from fair trade certified cooperatives in various tropical regions, the final processing, packaging, and distribution are primarily managed in the Netherlands. The brand remains an independent social enterprise, reinvesting its margins into its mission of making fair trade the standard globally.
