IMPACT: Made with love in India ♥ Equal Exchange’s mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate, through our success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic and sustainable world.
Equal Exchange is proud to support the members of the Small Farmer Tea Project (SFTP) in Kerala, India. The members of SFTP are marginalized small-scale producers and members of tribal groups who have suffered from social and economic injustice for generations. They’ve experienced massive erosion, deforestation, and acute water shortages and are working to promote changes in growing practices to rebuild the area through tea production. Most teas–even those that are certified as fair trade–come from large plantations where workers have little say and are trapped in a system of dependency. The small farmers who grow these teas control their land and their livelihoods. Together, we’re building an alternative tea model and a farmer-led future for the tea industry.

Equal Exchange's rooibos is grown by farmers at the Wupperthal Original Rooibos Co-operative, a democratically organized group of small-scale farmers who have grown rooibos plants in South Africa for generations. Small-scale farmers are very rare in the plantation-dominated rooibos industry. These farmers were pushed off the most fertile land in the 1800s and later endured segregation imposed by apartheid. They now grow food in the very dry, rocky soil of the Cedarberg Mountains which presents a big challenge for most of their crops. With Rooibos, however, the slower growth and lower production have resulted in notably higher quality tea compared to plantation Rooibos which is grown on the most fertile lands. Today, the vast majority of rooibos production is on plantations with white landowners, making Wupperthal a true gem in a rocky landscape.
