Dried Apricots 250g. **Fairtrade**
Dried Fruit Project in the Karakorum Mountains of Pakistan supplies our fair trade dried apricots. Improved techniques mean that farmers now earn 50% more for their apricots."My message will be: the people in the northern hills of Pakistan, they produce a healthy fruit. Although we are not certified organically, I am sure nobody has ever used any chemical on the apricot trees. So I am sure this is a health fruit that has zero value in the local market, but it has a high nutritional value and people will understand the quality."
"So I hope the people will enjoy eating the fruit and also satisfied buying it, because the money goes to the poorest of the poor. (Because Pakistan is a poor country and the people living in the northern hills - they are the poorest people)." - Sher Ghazi, Administrato
Traidcraft
Traidcrafts vision is a world freed from the scandal of poverty, where trade is just and people and communities can flourish. Our mission is to fight poverty through trade, practising and promoting approaches to trade that help poor people in developing countries transform their lives. Traidcraft fights poverty through a wide range of trade-related activities, and we are the UKs leading fair trade organisation. Our unique structure - a trading company and a development charity working together - gives us a distinctive perspective on how trade can be made to work for the poor. Traidcraft pioneers the development of fair trade by: building lasting relationships with small-scale producers in developing countries supporting people to trade out of poverty working to bring about trade justice being open and transparent about our practices. Traidcraft has been fighting poverty through trade since 1979 and over the next five years we aim to increase our impact on poverty by trebling the value of our purchases from fair trade suppliers in the developing world and trebling the volume of our charitable project and advocacy work
