In accord with Fair Trade USA’s (FTUSA) new strategy titled “Fair Trade for All”, which in part will begin allowing hired workers on plantations, estates and large farms to participate in the Fair Trade Certified system in a few more product categories (like coffee, cocoa and sugar), draft standards have been published. FTUSA is accepting public comments through December 30, 2011, and is publishing the final Hired Labor standards on February 15, 2012.
