You can help to make a difference
Our mission remains to ensure that smallholder food producers in the Global South receive fair recompense for the wonderful foodstuffs that they produce and that here more and more people enjoy their products and understand the importance of fairness and trade justice.
Being able to sell their high quality, ethically traded goods is fundamental for the producers as they build up their businesses, giving security to their families and communities. This is the basis for everything that we do, and we need to grow our purchases and make them more assured.
To this end, two years ago launched an appeal for working capital to put the business on a firm foundation for growth. We were seeking £250k and are thrilled that with support from a substantial legacy as well as numerous supporter donations, large and small, we are now close to reaching that target. Please do consider if you are able to help us with a donation.
Help us in our mission
Join us as we continue working in partnership with the rice farmers in the north of Malawi which helps bring justice and hope to smallholder farmers in Africa; and which inspires people here to work with the farmers for long term solutions to their problems. We are extremely proud of this partnership we have developed and the way it has led to improved education, living standards, and working standards throughout the farms of Karonga. Please get in touch if you would like in any way to be a part of this partnership.

JTS celebrated its ten year anniversary in 2019 and this report highlights the achievements during this time and looks forward to the next ten years as we aim to help smallholder farming in Africa and Asia to become an effective force for sustainable food growing; something which can meet the world's growing demand for food without reliance on the intensive modes of agriculture which are so damaging for the planet.
