The Fairtrade raisins come from the Orange River region of South Africa. The area is isolated and dry, as it is near the Kalahari Desert. Many crops are unprofitable, but farmers can get a decent income from growing grapes and drying them. The problem for small farmers is that it takes three years before the first crop and they need training and financial help to get started.

The milk chocolate is from Kuapa Kokoo (a co-op union of 937 village societies, representing about 40,000 farmers). They currently sell about 650 tonnes of cocoa to the Fairtrade market each year.

The Kasinthula Cane Growers' Association (KCG) is Traidcraft's new Fairtrade sugar supplier.
