Fairbel milk

Fairbel: The Fair-Trade Milk of Belgium

Fairbel is a Belgian fair-trade brand created by the Faircoop cooperative. The brand was established by local farmers as a response to the dairy crisis, aiming to ensure that producers receive a fair and sustainable price for their milk, allowing them to maintain viable agricultural operations.

Production and Ownership

All Fairbel products are produced and packaged within Belgium, sourcing milk exclusively from family farms that are members of the Faircoop cooperative. Unlike industrial dairy brands owned by multinational conglomerates, Fairbel is unique in that it is owned and operated by the farmers themselves. The ultimate owner is Faircoop, a cooperative headquartered in Belgium. This model ensures that profits are reinvested back into the local agricultural community and that the manufacturing process remains strictly national.
