invest in
farmers

Small-scale, farmer-owned cooperatives can invest their profits directly into improving the quality of their products and the quality of life in their communities. And because we know our partners so well, we can work together on mutually beneficial programs.

Beyond paying the Fairtrade premium every year, we provide our partners with targeted assistance for concerns such as food security, biodiversity and gender equality.

When they have the resources to dream and plan, they can achieve miracles for themselves.
