| Social Impact |
|
| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | The company has started to purchase avocados from farmer groups under fair-trade conditions in 2008. All farmers have a fair-trade contract and there is support by the company with training and fair exchange of information. The role of women in the society is actively encouraged by Olivado. The extra profit from fair trade price and premium is benefitting the farmers' whole family. | ||||
| ||||||||
| Use of FairTrade Premium | | | At the time being, fair trade premium is included into the price paid to the farmer because farmers are scattered over the region. Nevertheless, since the farmers representation is in the process of getting established farmers can discuss together the use | ||||
