World Fair Trade Day 2010

Africa's Kitchen - thousands of people selling, cooking and eating fairly traded African food products, supporting fair trade producers and small holder farmers and helping to promote fair trade across the UK.

Please come to the Small World on Saturday 8th May 2010 where samples of chutneys, sauces, jams and marmalade from Malawi and Swaziland will be available 10-12.

Malawi Kitchen

For some years now, we have been importing fairly traded goods from Africa. Over the next two years Just Trading Scotland will be developing and importing a range of innovative, ethically sourced products from Malawi under our Malawi Kitchen brand for sale in the UK - rice, piri-piri sauces, dried fruit and vegetables, nuts and pulses as well as a range of craft products. Just Trading Scotland is very pleased to be working in partnership with Imani Development and the Scottish Government to develop new markets for Malawian producers.

Eswatini Swazi Kitchen 

The range of products from Malawi will be a valuable complement to the range of Eswatini Swazi Kitchen brand of sauces, jams, marmalades which we have been importing for some years. Demand for these very popular Fair Trade products from a COFTA-registered producer has grown remarkably and we have been priviledged to supply the retail operations of UK charities as well as Fair Traders all over the UK.

Sign o' the Times

We've just finished stocktaking - no mean feat and all the stock has now been returned to the shelves awaiting the shop re-opening following the Easter break.

One thing I came across during the big spring clean was this delightful pane of glass, a remnant from the building's previous use as a council office:


Once cleaned up, it will make a lovely display centrepiece.
