Who we are
WFTO AME (Africa, Middle East, and Türkiye) is the regional network for the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). Established in 2007, we lead a growing network of enterprises—ranging from small-scale cooperatives to self-help groups—across various value chains in the region. Our members are dedicated to integrating fair, ethical, and sustainable production practices into their businesses.
Our mission is to support enterprises in adopting these practices and becoming recognized as fair trade organizations. We connect fair trade enterprises with local, regional, and international markets, providing a platform for sharing knowledge, networking, and mutual learning.
