Fair Trade Producer Details
Allpa is a company set up to market crafts for producers around Peru. Based in Lima, it gives advances, loans and design advice. Also it does training on costs calculation and quality control.
In the last years it has developed a programme to follow fair trade compliance (and support) with all the workshops they work with. Traidcraft is now a relatively small purchaser, but was one of Allpa's original two export customers, who helped the organisation develop the skills to get into the commercial market.
"We are building, little by little, a different world based on human relationships. It is a permanent process. We would like to encourage people in the UK to learn more about our culture and history, it would help our relationship to grow.
Fair trade helps to maintain a permanent relationship and helps people in the UK to know about the poorest people and other cultures." Nelly Canepa and Maria del Carmen de la Fuenta, Allpa, Peru.
