# Fair Trade Management

Take into consideration that Fair trade values are not declared to the SRI, are not added to the invoice values, neither included in the clients' balance sheets.

The farm is not responsible to collect fair trade values or pay for it, but the customer's responsibility. The goal of Fairtrade is to give power to workers over the money. The client have to deposits these values into a separate account, different from the account where the invoices are paid.  Therefore, UNOSOF does not sum up Fairtrade values anywhere in our accounting receivable modules.&#x20;
