Have you been good this year, Saint Nicholas? 🎁
Millions enjoy chocolate during the festivities, but the farmers who grow the cocoa often don’t benefit from the magic. Fairtrade works every day to change that.

Previous week at Mondiaal Café @mondiaalnieuws.bsky.social, CEO Philippe Weiler spoke about the coffee & chocolate crisis.
💬 “High coffee & cacao prices don’t equal fair farmer incomes. Climate impacts, rirsing costs, and new regulations mean producers still struggle. Fair prices remain essential.”
Twee weken geleden vernamen we via andere media dat onze Vlaamse subsidie van 216.000 euro volledig geschrapt wordt. We schoten onmiddellijk in actie en lanceerden de oproep “RED MO*". Waar staan we na twee weken? www.mo.be/extra/red-mo...

📢 The #FairTrade Movement is calling on the EU to act now to protect farmers’ livelihoods and safeguard global organic trade.
Our position and recommendations👉 bit.ly/4mfnQGj
The new EU Organic Regulation strengthens standards, but stricter rules could raise costs 50–200% for Fairtrade farmers, risking their livelihoods.
Without simplification, 800,000+ families risk losing their place in organic farming.
