Abstract

STARICCO, Juan Ignacio  and  NARANJO, María Ayelén. Bringing justice to international trade?: An introduction to the Fair Trade initiative. Trab. soc. [online]. 2018, n.30, pp.175-195. ISSN 1514-6871.

Both, the growth experienced by the Fair Trade sector in the last years and the expectations of its further expansion, make of this system a tempting alternative for small producer organization and firms in order to access international trade. Different firms and organizations have been producing under Fair Trade’s standards for more than 10 years in Argentina; however, local academic production has still not made an attempt to o systematically analyze this phenomenon. The goal of this article, hence, is to offer an introduction to Fair Trade, explaining its historical origins, working logic and main tools. In order to substantiate this presentation, we resort to the case of the Argentinean wine industry.

Keywords : Fair Trade; Certifications; Wine industry.
