  „Following the tremendous success of Fairtrade bananas, we are working with a number of supermarkets and fresh produce importers to extend the FAIRTRADE Mark to many more tropical and exotic fruits. In addition to pineapples and mangoes (trialled by the Co-op in early 2002), we are talking to producers of citrus fruits, grapes, passion fruit, papaya and coconuts who are keen to participate in Fairtrade. We expect this work to ‘bear fruit’ during 2003.“

Fairtrade | Suppliers | Growers | Manuel, Fairtrade cocoa farmer

  „Manuel's day starts at six o’clock. He has a breakfast of bananas, and might have a cup of cocoa. Two hours later he is at work, clearing weeds and tending the cocoa plants and the surrounding fruit trees that give the plants shade. Maria prepares his lunch ‘because she loves me’, Manuel says, with a twinkle in his eye. It's a meal of rice and beans, sometimes with meat.“
