  • Annual on-site inspection.
  • Biodynamic certification option.
  • Minimum price floors for producer cooperatives.
  • Fairtrade Premium paid into community-development funds.

Does NOT
  • Australia has multiple competing organic certifiers — NASAA is one of seven, not the dominant national mark (that's ACO).
  • Doesn't mean organic — many Fairtrade products are conventionally grown. A separate Fairtrade-Organic dual certification exists.
  • There aren't many Tún-certified operations (~120–160) — coverage in the Icelandic market is narrower than in the EU mainland.
