Established	1997	2012
Inspection	Annual on-site by FLOCERT (independent of Fairtrade International)	Annual on-site, SENASA-accredited

Guarantees	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.	Compliance with Argentine Law 25.127. Annual on-site inspection by SENASA-accredited certifier. Recognised as equivalent to EU + USDA organic under bilateral agreements.
Does NOT	Doesn't mean organic — many Fairtrade products are conventionally grown. A separate Fairtrade-Organic dual certification exists.	Domestic recognition only — exports use the buyer's national mark (USDA, EU Leaf) under equivalence.
