Fair Trade Cocoa
MCCH, a non-government organisation now based in Ecuador's main cocoa-exporting port of Guayaquil, began work in 1985 to help these farmers get a better deal with the outside world. It began buying and exporting cocoa grown by small farmers in 1992.

Fair Trade Sugar
Coopecañera was created in 1972 by 115 small producers, the co-operative gathers approximately 1100 members today. Coopecañera chose to produce brown sugar for it's ecological concern. Indeed, the production of white sugar implies a greater use of chemicals.

The co-operative develops certain technologies in order to make it possible for the producers to work only with natural products. In time, the co-operative hopes to produce only biological sugar.

More Information

MCCH guarantees its prices, which are broadcast in advance on the radio and paid directly to farmers or co-operatives set up by farmers, often with MCCH's help. MCCH agents have also introduced a more open system of weighing and grading the beans to ensure that farmers get a fair price and to encourage them to grow better quality beans.

"To pay a low price is not fair. In MCCH, there is a better income," says Flora Esparanza Valencia Tenorio, a cocoa farmer from Chaflu village.
