MEET OUR FARMERS
MRS. SUTHIN PHUTTHACHON
”I’ve been farming for more than 30 years but still smile every time It's time to harvest our chillies. Thanks to Fairtrade farming, we don’t have to worry about the ‘middleman’ not giving us a fair price or taking an unfair cut.”
MRS. SIRINPORN HONGCHAI
“Our ancestors have been growing chillies in Phrae province for a very long time. The fertile land makes them particularly tasty and vibrantly red. I’m so proud to be helping my community have a better life through Fairtrade.”
MR. PORNPIROM BUA-NGAM
“I wish I joined Fairtrade sooner. I now get a guaranteed price for my red chilies and galangal. I also get a premium to spend on agriculture and education in my community."
MRS. CHAMPI SAENKHAN
“The chillies in this paste are grown on fertile lands surrounded by the fresh pure air in Thailand's Phrae province. We have the perfect environment to make our chillies plump and full of flavour.”
MR. SUKON KUSADET
“My crops seem to improve time after time. Fairtrade has helped my farming community experiment with more natural methods to grow more aromatic produce."
MRS. SUPHALAK SAWANGWONG
“I’ve been a farmer all my life but before joining Fairtrade I had to sell my chillies for whatever price the ‘middleman’ gave me. I barely broke even. Now my husband, daughters and I enjoy a much better quality of life and stable income.”
MR. SOMNUK PAKAMSRI
“Fairtrade has taught us to farm more sustainably and in harmony with nature. It’s wonderful to be free of the ‘middleman’ who would sell us seeds at a high price then pay us very little for our lemongrass and turmeric.”
MRS. RATANAPHON DECHALLUANG
“My chillies look plump and healthy, I take great care of them and feed them fresh water from deep underground. I love inviting farmers to join Fairtrade, as it’s changed my life – I now have more experience, time and friends.”
