Activities: Fair Trade
The commitment by Agrocel to Fair-trade means that the
resulting products are purchased directly from farmers at
premium prices. This direct link spares the farmers from the
low margins and fluctuations of the international commodity
market.
Because Agrocel provides total services to farmers in the
entire value chain, we can check the source and process from
beginning to end. Thus ensuring that in every stage criteria
for fair trade is followed. Besides financial audit, social
audits are published to demonstrate that Agrocel is not only
focused on profits. Many of our buyers come and check
personally our fair trade standards. A third party monitor can
also be appointed.
Agrocel works with an own demonstration farm to test new
practices and then convince the farmers. This enables us to
know the real profitability of a crop and assess a fair price,
thus giving transparency to our buyer for fair trade.
Agrocel produces for the domestic as well as for overseas
markets, thus balancing fluctuations of the market and
therefore guaranteeing a stable income for farmers. We work
in long term partnership with all buyers; this will provide
farmers with a stable market and income and will ensure a
buyer can make a real impact on a group of farmers. It also
means Agrocel is as much concerned about your problems as you
are and will help finding solutions for you as a partner.
