A delicious light and crisp wafer biscuit covered in fair trade belgian chocolate. Ideal to have with your fairly traded cuppa. The fairly traded ingredients include fair trade sugar from Kasinthula in Malawi and fair trade cocoa from Kuapa Kokoo in Ghana.
Fair Trade Chocolate Kuapa Kokoo is a co-op union of 937 village societies, representing about 40,000 farmers. They currently sell about 650 tonnes of cocoa to the fair trade market each year.
"Through Fairtrade and Kuapa we now have a lot of progress. We have good drinking water, toilet facilities and schools. Kuapa pay the farmers on time and there is no cheating." - Comfort Kwaasibea.
The Kasinthula Cane Growers Association (KCG) is Traidcraft's new sugar supplier. In February 2004, Traidcraft's Market Access Centre ran a Trading Fairly Workshop for 33 farmers to introduce them to fair trade, Traidcraft and how their premium committee could operate. As a result, in March 2004, the village of Kapasule gained its own supply of safe, clean water from a borehole paid for with the fair trade premium.
