For more information about our work to go beyond Fairtrade visit: http://www.co-operative.coop/beyondfairtrade Twelve months after The Co-operative switched all our hot drinks to Fairtrade sourcing, we embarked on an ambitious project in Kenya to bring together over 11000 small holder tea farmers into a co-operative structure, help them become Fairtrade certified and supply their tea into our own 99 Tea blend This film looks at the challenges facing the small scale tea farmers and the progress we have made mid way through the project and how by going beyond Fairtrade, we will change the lives of over 11000 farmers through this most ambitious co-operative to co-operative trade initiative. The farmers christened the project Kibagenge, which means 'coming together as one' in the local language.
