What it means	France's national organic mark, owned by the Ministry of Agriculture. Sits alongside the EU Leaf on virtually all French organic packaging.	Certifies fair prices and conditions for producers in developing countries — not organic, not environmental. Common on coffee, cocoa, sugar, bananas, tea.	New Zealand's largest organic certifier. Recognised by the EU, US, and Japan under their respective import-equivalence regimes.	Mexico's national organic mark, administered by SENASICA under the Ley de Productos Orgánicos (LPO).
Scope	Food	Food	Several categories	Food
Established	1985	1997	1983	2006
Inspection	Annual on-site by French-accredited certifiers	Annual on-site by FLOCERT (independent of Fairtrade International)	Annual on-site, IFOAM-accredited	Annual on-site, SENASICA-accredited
Residue testing	Risk-based	Not for organic — Fairtrade alone doesn't test residues	Risk-based	Required
Guarantees	EU baseline organic (EU 2018/848). Annual on-site inspection by accredited French certifiers (Ecocert, Bureau Veritas, Qualité-France).	Minimum price floors for producer cooperatives. Fairtrade Premium paid into community-development funds. Bans on the worst forms of child and forced labour. Producer organisations must be small-farmer cooperatives or hired-labour plantations meeting standards.	≥95% organic ingredients. No synthetic pesticides, no GMOs. Annual on-site inspection. Covers food, textiles, and personal care under separate standards.	≥95% organic ingredients per LPO. Annual on-site inspection by SENASICA-accredited certifier.
Does NOT	Same standard as the EU Leaf — AB is the brand consumers recognise, not a stricter rule.	Doesn't mean organic — many Fairtrade products are conventionally grown. A separate Fairtrade-Organic dual certification exists.	New Zealand has no single legally-mandated 'organic' definition — voluntary certification is the norm.	USDA equivalence is granted product-by-product, not blanket.
