Who grows the products? Farmers aware of the value of their work and who decide to fight for their rights.
Professionals and entrepreneurs: they get the best quality, comply with all regulations and pay their taxes.
They are not idealistic; they know that trade defines the world, society and relationships between people. That is why they trust that you and I are aware of our power as consumers.
What is a cooperative? It is a group of farmers: the platform they have created and allows them to sell their product at a fair price, defend their rights and improve living conditions in their communities.
AlterNativa3 only works with cooperatives that offer decent working conditions, empower women and eradicate child labor. We create a long-term relationship to contribute to its development.
Where does my money go? When you buy an item, all the people involved in its production receive a fair payment for their work. Not only in the country of origin, but also here in Spain. We are all the same.
Also, AlterNativa3 is not a company, but a cooperative. In other words, the profit is reinvested in R&D for more sustainable packaging, elimination of plastics, training, clean energy…
Is the only thing that AlterNativa3 does is to buy raw material? No. We also improve the lives of producers with international cooperation projects.
For example, more than 100 young people have received higher education through a scholarship program.
Now they work in cooperatives, defend their rights and contribute to the development of their community.
What can I do? Support companies that do fair trade.
With each purchase you create a better world. Do you want to go to the online store?
Yes, buy fair trade products
