Tropical Wholefoods aim to create lasting markets for farmers in developing countries.  "Working with ethical businesses in Uganda, Burkina Faso, Pakistan and Afghanistan, we pay fair prices in advance, share useful technology and develop and market farmers' products. Our purchases bring in household income and allow farmers to invest in their villages, schools, livestock and land.

We have been hard at work for more than 15 years, and hope you enjoy the fruits of our labour.  Our main products are tropical dried fruits and nuts, and snack bars." You can buy Tropical Wholefoods from health food and fair trade shops, Oxfam, Traidcraft, and our website. To find out more about our work, give us a ring on 0845 258 2782 www.tropicalwholefoods.com
