Providing Covid-19 relief to support farmer resilience
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on farmers and workers around the world. Co-op and suppliers Fyffes and Finlay’s donated money to Fairtrade’s Covid Relief and Resilience Fund to take immediate action to save livelihoods, maintain production to prevent future aid needs and build resilience to future shocks and stresses. With the projects completed, they have reached 66,597 coffee, tea, and banana farmers and workers across 10 producer organisations in East Africa, and 26 coffee and banana producer groups in Latin America.
