Fruitag is guided by its principles:

Fruitag implements fair trade:

  • We maintain long-term relationships with our farmers.
  • We are present on the ground and in regular contact.
  • We support cooperatives directly with fast payments, know-how for sustainable cultivation, and environmentally friendly harvesting.
  • We commit to purchase the agreed quantity each year, as this leads to stable and secure incomes for the farmers.
  • We are committed to training farmers and field workers
  • We oppose child labor, and children must attend school. 
  • We support projects such as nurseries for young trees and know-how transfer to farmers.
  • We create transparency because farmers visit our customers, and our customers visit our farmers. 
  • We can guarantee 100% traceability.
  • Individual, smaller cooperatives usually have little chance on their own due to quality and logistical disadvantages compared to networked, larger cooperatives, or are exploited by large players. Fruitag coordinates the quantities of small family cooperatives and aims to treat and integrate all of them equally = “solidarity”.
