The Mchinji Area Smallholder Farmers’ Association (MASFA) has seen 2,700 small-scale tobacco farmers in Malawi, who had seen demand for their crops plummet, diversify and become peanut exporters.

 

In the 1960’s and 1070’s the vast majority of peanuts exported in the world came from Africa but the USA, Argentina and China then took over the reins. Until Twin, which went onto set up Liberation initiated the Fairtrade peanut trade in 2005, peanuts were no longer exported from Malawi. Now smallholder farmers there are proud to have grown and sold the world’s first Fairtrade peanuts to Liberation.

 

Over the past two years more than $43,000 has been received in Fairtrade premium. Some of the Fairtrade premium has been spent on establishing a guardian shelter for the loved ones of patients at Mchinji hospital. Sainsbury’s Fair Development Fund is contributing processing facilities such as a shelling machine to these farmers which will make a big difference to their lives, as shelling peanuts by hand is laborious work.

 

The next Fairtrade premium is being spent on Community Buying Centres. Joshua Varela of National Smallholder Farmers’ Association of Malawi (NASFAM) explains: “The new Centres will have a small office with a safe, a storage area which will hold about 20 metric tonnes in conditions which will protect the quality of the peanuts, and the farmers will be protected from the sun and the rain.

 

He adds: “The dream for me as a trader in agricultural product is for each family to make five hundred pounds a year on half an acre of ground and that would really transform Malawi. People would be able to afford provisions such as eggs, dried fish, half a chicken, good protein. They could have basic clothing for their children. This is what we want to gain through Liberation and Fairtrade.”

 

 

 

“We work more closely with the farmers, passing information to them about what the people who buy our nuts want... This is what we have learnt from working with Fairtrade.”
