What is Ohio Fair Trade?

We are committed to creating positive change in our world by empowering consumers with an understanding of the impact of their purchasing choices and by educating businesses about the impact of their trading practices. We believe that the resulting expanded economic opportunities created by Fair Trade will benefit all, particularly the world’s most disadvantaged.


The Fair Trade movement in Ohio will significantly expand as more consumers and businesses insist that the Fair Trade principles of accountability, transparency, cooperation, and respect for human dignity be integrated into production, trade, and consumption activities.
