Product Compensation

When a buyer purchases a product from a non-certified producer or Conveyor under ordinary conditions (non-certified), and wants to convert that product into a certified product. To do this they must purchase the equivalent quantity and quality from a certified producer and sell or use it as non-Fairtrade (i.e. "downgraded equivalent"). Product Compensation is only granted in very exceptional cases and requires a formal application and approval process with FLOCERT.
