Testimonials "Fair Trade supports
some of the most bio-diverse farming systems in the world. When
you visit a Fair Trade coffee grower's fields, with the forest canopy
overhead and the sound of migratory songbirds in the air, it feels
like you're standing in the rainforest." "The fair price is
a solution. It has given us the chance to pay a good price to our
farmers. Those who are not in Fair Trade want to participate. For
us it is a great opportunity. It gives us hope." A bite of fair Trade chocolate
means a lot to farmers in the South. It opens the doors to development
and gives children access to healthcare, education, and a decent standard
of living. Thanks to the Fair Trade market,
our standard of living has substantially increased. With your support,
we look forward to a more promising future. The worker at Ambootia [tea
garden] is visualized as an involved contributor rather than a mere input.
We strive to bring about a cohesive system where opinions from all quarters
are solicited, entertained and put to good use. The idea is suffused with
vigor by the funds made available by those who believe in us. With Fair Trade we have an incentive
to invest in social programs that benefit producers and the community.
We also receive higher incomes to sustain ourselves. If it weren't for
Fair Trade, we wouldn't exist as banana producers since the amount we
receive for a box of conventional bananas does not cover our expenses. In our country there was no tradition of fermenting
cocoa. With Fair trade income we were able to implement a fermentation
program to improve the quality of our cocoa and to convert our production
to certified organic. This improved our position in the export market.
The Fair Trade market is a very important market for the survival of our
associates. |
