Does NOT
  • Like Naturland, membership-based — only Bioland-association farms can use the mark.
  • Cosmetics and textiles are covered under separate Korean schemes, not this mark.

  • Doesn't mean organic — many Fairtrade products are conventionally grown. A separate Fairtrade-Organic dual certification exists.
