How your support helps
Traidcraft Exchange has been working in the Indian tea industry for several years to address the crisis that has been caused by falling tea prices. We are working with our local partner to organise and empower at least 230,000 small tea growers to improve their position in the tea industry.
Traidcraft Exchange is helping to improve lives in a practical way by looking at alternative supply chains, improving business practice, developing new markets and improving market access.
"I think if we can get better prices, most of our problems will be solved. I can repay my debts, build a latrine, send my younger brother for higher education and find some money for my marriage."
Rabia, a tea worker who lives with her mother and three siblings in a village in Tamil Nadu, Southern India.
