This product is made by a group of women in one village in Java and supports a number of families.

Our supplier of the fair trade batik boxes has a direct trading policy and is a member of BAFTS. They have built up relationships with all their craftsmen and women over a number of years and ensure that they receive a fair price for their products. They often pay money to them in advance so that they can pay for the materials they need to make the product and still have money to support their families.

The organic cocoa used in the production of these chocolate truffles is purchased directly from co-operatives plantations in The Dominican Republic and Peru. This ensures that the farmers get a price significantly above the open market and indeed some way above the price of Fairtrade branded cocoa.
