Practicing Fair Trade

Community owned Kwik’pak Fisheries was chosen for membership in the Fair Trade Federation (FTF) in 2005. The only seafood company to receive this distinction, the appointment underscores our promise to support Yupik Eskimos who fish for Yukon River salmon commercially and for subsistence. The FTF ensures that we meet the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

The FDT values continuous improvement and application of economic, social, cultural, and environmentally sustainable practices. They believe that trade should be used as a tool to help the local economy, reduce inequality and create opportunities for people to help themselves.
