Retro-certification

Retro-certification

Retro-certification is converting a product bought by a Fairtrade Payer or Conveyor under ordinary conditions (non-certified) from a Fairtrade certified producer or conveyor into a Fairtrade certified product through the granting of Retro-certification Exception and the payment of a Fairtrade Price differential (if applicable) and Fairtrade Premium.

Retro-certification is an Exception and requires a formal application and approval process with FLOCERT.
