<strong>Monitoring</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>scope</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>benefits</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>fairtrade</strong> report third edition, 2011 49<br />
When we look at <strong>the</strong> geographical distribution <strong>of</strong> Fairtrade Premium by region or<br />
by country, it is not surprising to see that <strong>the</strong> regions that receive <strong>the</strong> most amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> Fairtrade Premium are those producing large quantities <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> major Fairtrade<br />
products. The major banana, sugar <strong>and</strong> c<strong>of</strong>fee producing countries feature strongly<br />
in <strong>the</strong> top ten Fairtrade Premium-receiving countries, which account for almost €35<br />
million, or 75 percent <strong>of</strong> all Fairtrade Premium received.<br />
When we look at <strong>the</strong> per capita distribution <strong>of</strong> Fairtrade Premium between<br />
regions, we see again <strong>the</strong> dilution effect <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> very large numbers <strong>of</strong> members <strong>and</strong><br />
workers in Eastern, Western <strong>and</strong> Middle Africa. For example, although <strong>the</strong> total Fairtrade<br />
Premium levels received per region are similar, <strong>the</strong> per capita Fairtrade Premium for<br />
South America is six times that for Africa because <strong>the</strong> producer organizations in Latin<br />
America have a smaller average membership.<br />
Overall, <strong>the</strong> average Fairtrade Premium received per Fairtrade producer<br />
organization was €80 000, <strong>the</strong> same for both small producer <strong>and</strong> hired labour<br />
organizations. This showed a strong increase on <strong>the</strong> figures reported in last year’s<br />
report, as did <strong>the</strong> per capita global averages for members <strong>and</strong> workers.<br />
