The supplement also features Fairtrade International's 2010 financial data. Over 40% of Fairtrade International’s budget was directed to producers through producer services. This includes a global network of locally-based liaison officers and development of partnerships with organizations to provide additional training and services for producers.
21% of the budget went to market services to help develop new national markets (South Africa, Korea, Czech Republic, Brazil and India); communications support for producer networks and member organizations; develop the FAIRTRADE Certification Mark; international market research; global product management to support LIs and producers; and management of major international licensees. Another 12% was directed to standard setting and pricing work.
Soon Fairtrade International will release the 2010 Monitoring and Evaluation Report detailing the impact on Fairtrade farmers and workers. You can read the previous Monitoring and Evaluation Reports here.
