Supporting Small Farmers in their Efforts to Build a Better Future for their Families & Communities
|
|
Equal Exchange currently works with small farmer organizations in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the United States. Our trading partners are small farmer co-operatives — businesses owned and governed democratically by the farmers themselves. Decisions are made within the co-op, on their terms.

Training programs for women in Guatemala, an ecotourism project in Nicaragua, new classrooms in El Salvador
— these are all examples of the initiatives that co-ops have taken in their own communities with the income and support of Equal Exchange and other Fair Trade organizations. These farmer co-ops help keep rural communities healthy and strong, and keep local cultures vibrant.
