BioEquitable Organic Fair Trade

"BIO EQUITABLE" Association gathers Small and Medium Businesses which from the beginning have been eager to produce in line with sustainable development criteria.


The logic is global and ultimately implies all actors in the network : agriculturers who produce, enterprises which process, distributors and consumers who use the products.

"BIO EQUITABLE" brand (Organic Fair Trade) warrants to consumers that products bearing such a brand observe the following criteria :

  1. Compliance with at least one of the rules of Organic Agriculture that are recognized at the international level (CEE, JAS, NOP,…),

  2. Development of contract-based commitments between operating enterprises and producers or producer organizations and/or representatives of middling players among value chains,

  3. Bearing totally or partially of the costs for organic certification and Fair Trade verification (“BIO EQUITABLE“) by operating companies,

  4. Permanent suppliance by all means, including financial ones, of technical assistance, of help to supervision, of training in Organic and sustainable Agriculture and in "BIO EQUITABLE" specifications and reference document, of support to organization, management and indigenous technician activity and this, while respecting local cultures and traditions ,

  5. Practicing a trade policy of “contract-based guaranteed price“ allowing fair remuneration to producers so that they can meet their needs and those of their families in a decent way, and which is in line with an economic profitability objective of production activity,

  6. Warrant commitments regarding observance of elementary and basic human rights, sur le refus de l’exploitation des producteurs, observance of social labor laws ( weekly rest, hygiene, safety and health) and of protection of children in labor …,

  7. Developing a sustainable agriculture and maintaining the local rural fabric.

With respect to the model of control in force for organic products, good implementation of “BIO EQUITABLE“ referential is warranted by the intervention of a certification body that is totally independent from operator associations and public authorithies, that is accountable for credibility and seriousness in processing use applications.

These criteria that are thus controlled establish the “BIO EQUITABLE“ brand by means of objective, measurable, and verifiable criteria conveying a certain rigour and commitment to the service of the overall organic quality of products and observance of ethical and social conditions of their production by producers and their families, within an approach that is actually based on sustainable development and social progress.
