TRADE Investment in our people is an investment in the planet Through our operations at Candela Peru, we have spent 30 years working to protect the rainforest and the communities that live there by paying fair wages and reinvesting into the livelihoods of small producers. FAIR TRADE PILLARS You can\u2019t build a healthy world without a healthy commitment to people Advocacy &#038; Partnership Re-investment Knowledge Sharing Setting the Standard Advocacy &#038; Partnership 01\u00a0 \u00a0ADVOCACY &amp; PARTNERSHIP\u00a0 We value cooperation over competition. It\u2019s why we sit down with other producers to establish fair trade practices and prices for the products each year. It helps us to collectively support the small producers, the communities they come from, and ensure that the forest is also treated with great care. Re-investment 02\u00a0 \u00a0RE-INVESTMENT On top of the fair market price we pay to our small producers for organic product, over the past years we have distributed $500,000 to support better living conditions for producers and the communities they live in. This money has gone toward efforts like securing land rights, bettering education systems, improving collection infrastructure, and providing access to health care. . Knowledge Sharing 03 \u00a0 KNOWLEDGE SHARING While we pride ourselves on the fruit and seeds we wild harvest from the forest, we know that it\u2019s not enough for many of our small producers to live on. To generate additional income, we teach organic and biodynamic techniques to those who are interested, in order to diversify their production not to depend only on one product. Setting the Standard 04\u00a0 \u00a0 SETTING THE STANDARD When we started, there weren\u2019t any certifications or regulations around best practices for fair trade brazil nuts. Since our founding, we have pioneered the standards for fair trade in the nut industry. When it comes to compliance and benchmarks outlined by government bodies like the UNCTAD regarding biotrade, Candela was #1 in Peru with 92% compliance in 2009\u2014many years before others adopted the same practices. 120 PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY CANDELA 1,908 PEOPLE HAVE BENEFITTED FROM OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS 428 SMALL PRODUCERS WORK WITH CANDELA OUR CERTIFICATIONS International<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"editor_notices":[],"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
