4.3 Certified producer organizations by producer type, 2008–2010<br />

For <strong>the</strong> purposes <strong>of</strong> this report we consider that <strong>the</strong>re are three major types <strong>of</strong> Fairtrade<br />

producer organization: small producer organizations, contract production schemes,<br />

<strong>and</strong> hired labour organizations.<br />

Table 4.3 shows that each type <strong>of</strong> certification grew at a similar rate between<br />

2009–10, <strong>and</strong> that <strong>the</strong>refore <strong>the</strong> overall proportions remain constant, with small<br />

producer organizations <strong>and</strong> contract production schemes accounting for 75 percent<br />

<strong>of</strong> all producer organizations, <strong>and</strong> hired labour organizations accounting for 25 percent.<br />

Since 2008, we see a slight drop in <strong>the</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> hired labour organizations, <strong>and</strong><br />

a slight rise in <strong>the</strong> proportion <strong>of</strong> small producer organizations, but overall <strong>the</strong> balance<br />

remains constant.<br />
