Low Prices on
Equal Exchange Products
Equal Exchange starts with products from farmers’ co-operatives in developing countries to provide good-tasting foods - while also making changes to the way food ends up on our table. Equal Exchange products are promoted by Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic, Unitarian, and United Brethren church groups - to name only a few.
Mission
Equal Exchange's mission is to build long-term trade partnerships that are economically just and environmentally sound, to foster mutually beneficial relationships between farmers and consumers and to demonstrate, through our success, the contribution of worker co-operatives and Fair Trade to a more equitable, democratic and sustainable world.
Guiding Principles
- Trade directly with democratically organized small farmer cooperatives.
- Facilitate access to credit for producer organizations.
- Pay producers a guaranteed minimum price that provides a stable source of income as well as improved social services.
- Provide high quality food products.
- Support sustainable farming practices.
- Build a democratically-run cooperative workplace.
- Develop more environmentally-sound business practices.
