Building the Future of Small-scale Coconut Farmers through Fairtrade

Fairtrade is about environmental, social, and economic sustainability and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers. We understand that producers are best placed to consider their farms’ specific challenges and decide on the most effective investments for their businesses and communities. Through Fairtrade-supported initiatives, the producers have the power to change the world every day.

In the Philippines, it has helped the coconut farming communities organise themselves into democratic cooperatives set up to take control of their economic future, improve their livelihood, and have better market access and bargaining power.
