Built and grown based on the values of fair trade, MA’s Kitchen - the trusted food processor highlighted the importance of continuously supporting and integrating fair trade practices to create better livelihoods in recognition of World Fair Trade Day.
World Fair Trade Day commemorates fair trade as a tangible contribution to sustainable development, especially the economic empowerment of small producers through decent working conditions, responsible production practices and better livelihoods.
For over three decades MA’s Kitchen has been consciously promoting development opportunities for farming communities, improving market access and paying fair prices. A recipient of the Fair Trade Labelling Organisation’s fair trade certification, MA’s Kitchen is certified for processing fair trade materials and manufactures fair trade certified coconut milk, curry pastes and other food ingredients for consumers around the globe. The endorsement ensures the company follows rigid certification requirements and guarantees the farmers receive a minimum price above costs to ensure sustainable production.
An additional fair trade premium is also pledged to the farmer organisations for development activities.
