In fact, they're totally different, but often confused. Organic is only about how the bananas are grown (no GMOs, no synthetic pesticides). Fairtrade has a lot of the same standards around how fruit is grown, and it also includes standards for how growers are treated. Under Fairtrade, farmers are paid fairly, have better working conditions and child labor is a no-no. Equifruit bananas, both organic and non-organic are Fairtrade-certified.

Examples include new school equipment, medical clinics, clean water systems, training, and climate resilience. Farmers decide democratically how to use their Fairtrade Premium for projects that help their farms and communities. These projects are locally led and built to last. One dollar in Fairtrade Premium per case of bananas might not sound like much, but multiply it by the million plus cases Equifruit imports annually, and these funds become a game-changer.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-item\" data-index=\"5\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"question-text\">HOW MUCH FAIRTRADE PREMIUM HAS EQUIFRUIT CONTRIBUTED TO DATE?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"icon\">+<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To date, Equifruit has paid over $6 million US in Fairtrade Premium to farmers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-item\" data-index=\"6\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-question\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"question-text\">HOW DOES EQUIFRUIT MAKE SURE THAT THE FAIRTRADE STANDARDS ARE BEING UPHELD?<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"icon\">+<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"faq-answer\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Independent third-party auditor\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.flocert.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FLOCERT<\/a>\u00a0makes sure that Equifruit, and our grower partners, uphold the Fairtrade Standards, with regular inspections and assessments.
