This is an analysis of the impact of organic and fair trade certification on banana producers and organisations in a disadvantaged area of Peru. The study explores how relatively small-scale farmers – organised into associations – can benefit from niche markets. Higher input costs are more than offset by significantly higher prices obtained by accessing high-value export markets. The role of associations in supporting individual farmers is highlighted.
