Rising With the Roast: Fairtrade Impact in Vietnam!
In response to the escalating challenges posed by climate change, Fairtrade's assistance has empowered cooperatives to institute impactful climate change initiatives, such as the implementation of renewable energy and windbreak tree planting.
"Behind every delicious cup of coffee lies the hard work, sweat and tears of coffee farmers. Before 2010, economic challenges plagued many families in Vietnam due to challenges including poor infrastructure and limited resources. Enter #fairtrade certification - a game-changer! Stringent standards, encompassing fair pricing, labour rights, and environmental protection, coupled with ongoing support, have led to a remarkable improvement in the lives of coffee farmers in Vietnam. Presently, the community actively engages in diverse #social, #economic, and #environmental #sustainability projects, enriching the lives of its farmers with the support from Fairtrade NAPP. Furthermore, prompted by the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Fairtrade have organized various initiatives that benefited the families and the community at large. As we savour our daily cup, let's appreciate the resilience of these farmers and continue supporting initiatives that foster fairness, environmental stewardship, and community well-being. Together, we can cultivate a future where every sip is a testament to the positive change we create. Join hands with Fairtrade to support coffee farming communities."
