Ethical Energy... Sweet! Carbon Neutral

The price of sugar is extremely volatile and often extremely low. Now, through Fairtrade, these growers are taking steps to secure their own future and improve their living conditions.

The Fairtrade premium has enabled them to bridge the income gap between harvests, establish their own medical centre and dentist clinic, improve access to running water and housing, purchase books and schools uniforms and even the establishment of a plant nursery. Now the growers have a vision of owning their own sugar mill!

Jasper has debated the merits of helping these poor farmers versus selling locally produced sugar. Unlike here in Australia, the growers do not have access to a legal framework that protects their rights and a world class welfare and health system. We have chosen to give these farmers a better deal and to fairly reward their work.
