Global Producer Services
Empowering More Farmers and Farm Workers around the World to Thrive on the U.S. Market

Global Producer Services (GPS) employs an integrated and market-based approach to poverty alleviation in rural communities in 50 of the poorest countries in Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The remarkable growth of the US Fair Trade market means tremendous opportunities for producers to access burgeoning market opportunities, and thereby improve the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of farmers.

GPS leverages its connections along the entire supply chain to create efficient links between compatible supply and consumption markets. Fair Trade producers participate in capacity building to access available market opportunities. GPS extends the benefit of Fair Trade to additional producer groups at times when demand exceeds supply. GPS links markets more efficiently, helping existing producers to access market opportunities when needed and extending the market benefits to more farmers worldwide.
