Fair Deal Trading is pioneering in the development of supply chains for
Fairly Traded, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified rubber. We pay
a Fair Trade premium of EUR 0.50/kg DRC (Dry Rubber Content), as well
as FSC certification costs. A joint body at plantation level decides on
the use of the Fair Trade premium in accordance with the principle:
Whoever produced a product should decide on how to spend the
income. So far there is no independent Fair Trade label for Fairly Traded
rubber, which is why Fair Deal Trading has entered into bilateral
agreements with the suppliers. These deal with issues of payment,
decision making, reporting ... Regular visits by Fair Deal Trading or
dedicated consultants guarantee that any problems can be solved
mutually and that monitoring is ensured
