Equal Exchange sources cashews from Fair Trade Alliance Kerala (FTAK) in Kerala, India.

Protecting both elephants and crops with elephant-friendly fencing is just one way that FTAK farmers have used Fair Trade premiums to improve their farming. They have also channeled funds to improve school facilities, support community drinking water programs and control weeds sustainably. Founded in 2006 to gain better and more stable pricing for farmers, Fair Trade Alliance Kerala is now 4,500 member strong.

Product of India (cashews). Roasted and packed in the USA.
