“So far Fairtrade has made a big difference to us. With the income from our first premiums, for example, we were able to build two schools in the villages where we are active.” -Aboubakari Aidara Lamine, employee, ECOOKIM

“Increased production volumes, higher sales, better prospects for implementing projects, this is what we expect from Fairtrade and fair trading.” - Moussa Bamba, Chairman of ECOJAD

“To me, fair trading is more than empowerment for farmers. Fair trading enables them to sell their crops in a fair market while supporting their communities.” -Anne Marie Yao, Liaison Officer, Fairtrade International
