Fairtrade Tea: Tea can be produced on large plantations or estates and picked by employed workers, it can also be grown on small plots of land by smallholder farmers. When UK shoppers choose Fairtrade tea, producers sell more of their product on Fairtrade terms, and can work towards a more sustainable livelihood for themselves and their families.

Fairtrade Sugar: Fairtrade sugar sold in the UK comes from countries including Belize, Fiji, Guyana, Jamaica, Malawi, Mauritius, Paraguay and Swaziland. The price paid for sugar often outweighs the price of production, leaving producers at a loss and unable to support their business or lifestyle. By certifying our product as Fairtrade we are supporting producers through the Fairtrade premium that is re-invested back into their businesses and local communities.
