ABSTRACT Fair Trade is an international movement trying to save farmers and workers in Global South from unfair practices of trade. In the globalized economy era this movement it’s getting bigger. However, the success of Fair Trade movement led to grand debate since it depend on the involvement of corporations who are being avoided at the first time this movement began. This thesis discussed the implementation of Fair Trade on Gayo Coffee under Fairtrade certification scheme governed by Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO). It’s focus on how FLO can transform farmer position in its commercial network. This research find that certification scheme under FLO can’t guarantee farmer the best position in the international coffee chain. It argue that it is caused by the role of cooperation that is just dominate by few people instead farmers as a whole.
