| Social Impact |
|
| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | Interrupcion Fairtrade is working with two smallscale farmers cooperatives in Argentina to provide them with a new market opportunity, a more transparent trade relationship and social capital to invest in the well-being of their cooperatives and their workers. Cooperativa de los Pioneros is a newly formed, growing cooperative of Argentinan small fruit farmers and has a positive social impact because cooperatives are essential for suvival of smallscale agriculture in Argentina, where export is dominated by a handful of international corporations and many small farmers are forced out of business each year. The participating farms are medium size relatively wealthy farmers in comparison with smallholder farmers in developing countries, and hence additional fairtrade focus in this group is on the well-being of agricultural workers on the farms in addition to the support of genuine small scale traditional agriculture in the Argentinan context. Cooperativa Los Pioneros is committed to sharing the benefits of the FairTrade premium with their workers and were the first to suggest including them in the decision-making process on how to invest the social premium. | ||||
