$152,250 in fair trade premiums paid to small scale farmers in 2017
Strong relationships are the most important ingredient in everything Alter Eco makes. 100% of the products are sourced directly from small-scale farmers. This means the producers have been paid a price that ensures sustainable farming methods to promote biodiversity and income security, along with a premium to support the growth of the cooperatives and their communities.
Meet just a few of the 4,500 female farmers at Fair Trade Alliance Kerala in India, who produce the pure organic coconut oil that make Alter Eco’s dark chocolate truffles so indulgently creamy.
