"Fair Trade empowers farmers and farm workers to invest in their communities, protect the environment, and develop the business skills to compete in the global marketplace. By supporting Fair Trade, you can help build a more just economy that benefits people and the planet." (Transfair USA). "Fair Trade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives". (Fair Trade Foundation). |

Organic Fiji products are all made using Certified Organic Virgin Coconut Oil. Each coconut used in creating Organic Fiji products comes from the South Pacific Islands. Organic Fiji takes pride in supporting Fair Trade & supporting the people of these Island communities, which are often over run with poverty. No part of the coconuts are wasted, the husks are burned to power a turbine which powers the coconut plantation and surrounding communities, providing them with renewable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy. |
