Stock up on Trade Aid's
'feel good factor'
at The Food Show Auckland
2011
Visit Trade Aid's stand at The Food Show Auckland 2011 and
you'll find more than just delicious flavours - you'll feel the
rosy glow of helping small-scale farmers in developing countries
get a fair price for their goods.
Trade Aid is a New Zealand founded and operated not-for-profit
organisation that works hard to support hundreds of thousands of
food and craft producers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the
Pacific, through fairer trading practices.
"We provide the world's most disadvantaged producers with
support to improve their lives, by buying and selling their
products, telling their stories, and speaking out for greater
justice in world trade," says Trade Aid Food Manager Justin
Purser.
The results are improved lives for producers - and absolutely
scrumptious products! Here are the top five products that will be
available at the Trade Aid stand:
1. 'Better
Day Blend' Coffee
A smooth yet lively, well-rounded espresso blend that is sweet
but with enough bite for a satisfying cup. Good body with a clean
finish and smooth aftertaste.
2. Milk and Dark

Premium, Belgian-made, gluten-free chocolate using 100% fair
trade cocoa and sugar. Organic 70% cocoa and peppermint flavour

4. Organic Baking
Cocoa
