Nuts about Fairtrade

Volunteers joined members of the public in Prestonpans library today to hear a talk by Ken Mkangala, the Manager of the Ntchisi Macadamia Co-operative Union office in Malawi.

The Ntchisi Co-operative has been working with Edinburgh-based Equal Exchange, assisted by a Scottish Government grant, using the Fair Trade model as a way to enable farmers in Malawi to better understand markets and to empower smallholders to become more than just producers of a commodity. You can see the film here:


We will shortly be stocking Macadamia nuts in the Small World.
