This briefing paper is drawn from a research study exploring the impact that Fairtrade is having for three tea producing groups in Malawi.

It is intended to benchmark the situation for the organisations, farmers, workers and wider community in the first year or two following certification and identify the initial impacts of Fairtrade.

It is the first stage of a longer-term study to assess the difference that Fairtrade is making for these tea producers and to provide learnings about how the Fairtrade model can be improved to maximise its impact.
