Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO e.V.) was born in 1997 and owns the internationally recognised Fairtrade label, which is applied on certain products certified against Fairtrade standards. Producers and traders are annually audited by an independent certification body called FLO-Cert. The product range includes mainly agricultural commodities such as fruits, vegetables, coffee, tea, wine, cotton, honey, sugar, rice and in addition sports balls. FLO e.V. is constantly working on the development of standards for new products. There are currently more than 900 Fairtrade certified producers and traders worldwide, about 100 of them in South Africa.
