FairTrade Bazaar, November 2009
 
Ghanaian Kuapa Kokoo cocoa farmers
visit to schools 5th March 2009
Fairtrade Fortnight 2009
Comfort Kumeah and Christiana
Ohene-Aygare, guests of the Co-op, visited Cradlehall Primary and 2
Geography classes at Fortrose Academy as well as the Fairtrade Group in
that school. They spoke passionately to enthusiastic young people about
the difference Fairtrade agreements have made to their lives.
The main points taken on board by
classes were:
· how democratic Kuapa
Kokoo is – democracy, transparency, equity and accountability are their
key words
· how corrupt the old
system was with the purchaser cheating producers with unfair scales etc. Under the new system the Recorder is elected, ensuring transparency
and equity.
· how surprised they were
that still only 7 percent of Kuapa Kokoo cocoa is sold on fairtrade
terms
· how important it
therefore is to promote the fairtrade message
· just how much of a
difference the 2 premiums make: the top up if the market price drops and
the social premium. (The latter is US$ 150 per ton) Comfort’s
community had benefited from a corn mill and Christiana’s from a hand
dug well.
· Cradlehall children were
delighted to see that Comfort was photographed in the Fairtrade
newsletter, that was pinned to their board, which they had downloaded
from the Internet
