Fair Trade Cocoa
MCCH, a non-government organisation now based in Ecuador's main cocoa-exporting port of Guayaquil, began work in 1985 to help these farmers get a better deal with the outside world. It began buying and exporting cocoa grown by small farmers in 1992.

"To pay a low price is not fair. In MCCH, there is a better income," says Flora Esparanza Valencia Tenorio, a cocoa farmer from Chaflu village.

MCCH guarantees its prices, which are broadcast in advance on the radio and paid directly to farmers or co-operatives set up by farmers, often with MCCH's help. MCCH agents have also introduced a more open system of weighing and grading the beans to ensure that farmers get a fair price and to encourage them to grow better quality beans.

Fair Trade Sugar
Coopecañera was created in 1972 by 115 small producers, the co-operative gathers approximately 1100 members today. Coopecañera chose to produce brown sugar for it's ecological concern. Indeed, the production of white sugar implies a greater use of chemicals.

The co-operative develops certain technologies in order to make it possible for the producers to work only with natural products. In time, the co-operative hopes to produce only biological sugar.
