A big thank you to all our Fair Traders. The work you do selling Traidcraft products is amazing and we really do appreciate your efforts.
The difference your donation could make
Although closely linked, Traidcraft Exchange is not funded by the profits of Traidcraft plc, as these are re-invested back into the company in order to grow its business and benefit further fair trade producers.
The work of Traidcraft Exchange complements the plc’s trading activities with wider work to help poor producers, both plc suppliers and others, overcome the barriers that prevent them benefiting from trade.
Your extra donations could help more poor producers throughout the developing world like Narmaben Manji, a cotton farmer in the Kutch area of India.
“I get a good price for my cotton. The Agrocel field officer also comes to give advice and there is interest-free credit. I want to give my grandsons a good education.”
Our project in India aims to help cotton farmers to widen their crop base to improve soil fertility and productivity and reduce dependence on cotton alone. This project builds on an earlier project which led to success in mainstream markets, with Marks and Spencer now buying Fairtrade certified cotton from Agrocel.
Agrocel supplies Traidcraft plc with cotton, rice and cashew nuts.
