    Over 70% of Africa's people rely on producing food to make a living, but unfair trade rules mean that small-scale farmers struggle to get a fair price for their produce. The project is working to unite farmers’ groups in key countries in Africa to campaign for changes in government policies so that they can better access international markets. The farmers also receive training to ensure their produce meets the Fairtrade standard for export. This project operates in nine countries, with a spend of £89,255.56 in each location.
