About Trade Aid New Zealand

We are change makers that champion a different, fairer way to trade. Created by kiwi activists in 1973, we use a fair trade business model to put the needs of people and the planet first. The foundation of our business is long-term partnerships based on honesty, transparency, accountability and equity. We champion.... 💰 Paying farmers and artisans fairly for their products. Fair payment is made up of Fair Prices, Fair Wages and Local Living Wages. 🤝 Relationships based on equity. 🌱 Protecting the environment. ✨ Creating opportunities for producers who have been economically marginalised by the conventional trading system. 🦺 Safe and healthy working environments that comply with international laws. We work alongside 57 different trading partners and they in turn work with over 500,000 talented producers, across 22 countries in the Pacific, Asia, Africa and South America. The average length of partnership across all our trading partners is 23 years!
