Single Site Mass Balance
Single Site Mass Balance (SSMB) requires that all Fairtrade inputs must be delivered to and processed at the same site where the Fairtrade output is processed. A single site can involve an Additional Entity, e.g. for processing, even if no delivery back to the Master Operator takes place. However, the product must be delivered to the Master Operator in the first place.
