Fairtrasa works with hundreds of small farmers in Latin America and India who are struggling to raise their traditional crops in the volatile global economy.

Fairtrasa´s focus goes far beyond the commercial exchange of fruit and other food products. We know that producer empowerment is key to making sustainable progress. We have developed a series of programs that enable farmers to uplift their families and communities. With Fairtrasa they all receive assistance to improve their crops, avoid expensive middlemen and lenders, and we connect them with better paying markets in the USA, Canada and Europe. Instead of selling their land to large agribusiness or migrating to large cities or abroad, our farming families can now continue to cultivate their land for another generation.

Join us in our mission to convert marginalized rural areas into healthy farming communities. Find out how we´re doing it by reading about producer empowerment. Browse producer profiles to witness the successes of the organic and fairtrade growers.
