Re: these tender sweet cashews: According to Equal Exchange’s website, Gebana is one of the largest alternative traders in the world, consistently taking risks to support small farmers and help them gain control in the market. In Burkina Faso, the farmers who grow the cashews are organized into co-ops and the factory, owned by Gebana, employs hundreds of local workers. These endeavors help the farming communities build a better economic future. Shop Co-ops! Click here for a fascinating read on these Fair Trade nuts
