Rose Mensah, a cocoa bean farmer from Ghana came to Wellington to kick off Fair Trade Fortnight and share her story about how being in a fair trade co-op benefit’s her community.
Hearing her story lead me to ask Wellington fair trade stalwarts, Christian from Trade Aid , Matt and Kate from and Rochelle from about the effects on their suppliers and their products from committing their businesses to being fair trade.
I also chat to Pravin Sawmy of about NZ’s astounding growth in Fair trade products is in just 9 years.
