Investing in organic and fair trade certifications has played a huge role in the success of co-ops like the Cooperativa Agroindustrial Machupicchu in Andahuaylas, Peru.

Where organic certifications show gaps, Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) steps in to fill them. It is a level up from organic—a more holistic approach.

A food certification, especially the “organic” and “fair trade” one, can strengthen the quality of a product and increase its sales. On a different note, today we see a whole new game: the power of validated stories.

Fair trade certifications and practices change the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions, and a fairer deal for farmers and workers in developing countries.

Consumers rely on the certification logo on the product packaging to “trust” that this product satisfies their values and expectations as a consumer. The reality, however, which may not be known by many consumers, is that there is a trade-off between cost and oversight.

We at Producers Market commit to our community to become the leading digital platform for global regenerative agriculture.
