Pampeana is an organization which support standards for international labor, environmentalism and social policy in areas related to production of Fair Trade labeled and unlabelled goods.
We focus in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries. Our strategic intent is to deliberately work with marginalized producers and workers in order to help them move from a position of vulnerability to security and economic self-sufficiency. It also aims at empowering them to become stakeholders in their own organizations and actively play a wider role in the global arena to achieve greater equity in international trade. Every time you purchase products from us, you become a Fair Trade supported and an ambassador of if believes of equality.
In 2006, Fair Trade certified sales amounted to approximately 1.6 billion worldwide, a 41 % year-to-year increase. While this represents less than one hundredth of a percentage point of world trade in physical merchandise, fair trade products generally account for 0.5-5% of all sales in their product categories in Europe and North America. In October 2006, over 1.5 million disadvantaged producers worldwide were directly benefiting from fair trade while an additional 5 million benefited from fair trade funded infrastructure and community development projects.
We thank you for your business and support!
