Support and development work
We identify services that small business need to enable them to trade effectively, and build capacity of local service providers to provide these services at an affordable basis.
Tea producersTraidcraft plc has been trading tea for over twenty years and tea is an important product for poor producers and workers in several of the key countries where Traidcraft Exchange (TX) works (for example India, Kenya, Bangladesh, Vietnam).
Cotton producersAs part of its strategic plan for 2007-2011, Traidcraft decided to make cotton one of its six 'strategic themes'. Our work aims to make a lasting difference to the lives of cotton farmers by helping them to boost their incomes from cotton and be less vulnerable to price and environmental shocks.
Craft producersThe developing world supplies 80% of the world's crafts and the industry employs many poor producers.
