Overview of Fairtrade International
Fairtrade is the most recognized and trusted sustainability label, working to make trade fairer for people and planet.
For over three decades, Fairtrade has made a significant impact on how trade operates. We believe every farmer and worker should have access to a better way of doing business and living.
Fairtrade International is an independent, non-profit organisation representing over two million small-scale farmers and workers worldwide. It owns the FAIRTRADE Mark, a registered trademark that appears on more than 37,000 products. Beyond certification, Fairtrade International and its member organisations (three producer networks and 19 national Fairtrade organisations) partner with producers and businesses, engage consumers, and advocate for a fair and sustainable future.
Rationale Indonesian smallholder farmers face compounding challenges: climate change impacts (erratic rainfall, droughts, land degradation), limited market access, gender disparities in agricultural decision-making, and inadequate access to technology. According to Fairtrade International's Producer Satisfaction Survey, 65% of producers in the Asia Pacific region identify changing climate patterns as their primary concern. The project Transitioning Towards Green Resilience: Building Inclusive and Sustainable Agricultural Communities, funded under the EU CSO Thematic Programme, responds to these challenges by strengthening the capacity of Fairtrade-certified smallholder farmers and their producer organizations in Indonesia. It is aligned with the European Green Deal, the EU-Indonesia Partnership on Sustainable Development, and Indonesia's Presidential Instruction (Inpres) No. 9 of 2025 on cooperative development. A central component of this project is building farmer capacity in sustainable agricultural practices, particularly organic and agroecology-based farming, supporting Fairtrade-certified farmers to transition to managing their own organic certification while at the same time continuously strengthening their sustainable agriculture capability. A Training of Trainers (ToT) approach is to be implemented to ensure local ownership and sustainability, enabling community-level trainers to cascade learning within their organizations.
Overall goal: This activity aims to train 140 farmers as lead farmers in sustainable agricultural practices aligned with Just Green Transition priorities — 80 from Fairtrade-certified cooperatives in Java and 60 from farmer organizations in Sulawesi, with at least 30% women participants. The ToT will focus on nature-based agroecology and organic farming methods, including climate change adaptation and market access requirements, in particular the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and EU Organic Regulation (EUOR). The cascading trainings will target 410 participants (at least 30% 1 women) — 310 in Java and 100 in Sulawesi — and farmer organizations are expected to emulate the training to an additional ~1,600 peer farmers. The cascading workshops will be followed by self-monitoring to ensure that the implementation of sustainable agroecological practices contributes to environmental protection and GHG reduction.
