It is Traidcraft’s policy to sell any shares we receive as gifts as soon as we can. We prefer to sell them so we can use the money to fight poverty in the developing world when it’s needed – now!
The difference your donation could make
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.
"About five or six years ago I began selling to Agrocel. They were giving a better price than the market. Also they have supported me with my cotton production. I am growing organic cotton. If new technology comes out then the Agrocel field officer will come to advise about it."
