Learn more about Fair Trade through the stories of its protagonists, the producers, and workers.
“I consider Fairtrade as a friend and an ally. Thanks to them we have been able to grow. In my case I feel very supported in the sense that they give me my benefits. I give them my quality fruit, a healthier fruit that goes to the consumer, and so we continue to support each other always, working mutually, like a symbiosis.”
Johnny Navas, ASOGUABO, Ecuador
“When we talked about self-esteem, I was very afraid to speak in front of the other women, however, with the training, I personally learned to express myself and to grow, little by little I lost my shyness, sometimes it is very difficult, because you think: what if I am wrong when I say something and they laugh at me, but in the course of the workshop you lose your fear.”
Merlin Ramírez, Cooperativa CIASFA, Guatemala
