‘… When we receive the Fairtrade price for our vanilla, we receive 100% of that money for our work, and we have 100% control over how to use it; when money comes from donors and charities it trickles from the top-down through so many different hands and administration channels that by the time it reaches us, both the money and its effectiveness have dwindled.’
Joseph Mbusa, Chairman of Rwenzori Farmers Union
