Fairtrade Certified Cotton When Fairtrade standards(1) for seed cotton were set in 2003 Mali was one of the countries identified as a potential producer partner. There are now three co-operatives that have since been certified which are regional groupings of around one hundred village co-operatives. These groups now export part of their production under the conditions guaranteed by international Fairtrade standards: The guaranteed Fairtrade minimum price paid to producers covers production and living costs. The additional Fairtrade premium is for investment in agreed community development projects such as drilling wells and constructing or improving schools and clinics. Sustainable agricultural production methods are employed including environmental protection and ongoing reduction in the use of agrochemicals. Non-discrimination and equality of opportunity for all members and workers. Democratic and transparent management structures are in place. Pre-finance of up to 60% of the value of the contract is available on request. Fairtrade encourages registered buyers to make a commitment to long-term stable relationships with producers.
