Everyone at Liberation Foods is desperately sad to learn that Twin & Twin Trading has gone into administration. It was Twin and other far sighted organisations that were instrumental in setting up Liberation and other fair-trade companies.

We have shared an office with Twin since our inception in 2007 and have learned a lot about the amazing work it has done with smallholder farmers. The Twin approach was truly unique. It challenged the process of trade using alternatives structures and most importantly, it put smallholder farmers first.

We are a separate company to Twin and we have no commercial links, so we will trade as normal, with no disruptions. Our partnerships with smallholder farmers will remain the same and we will bring their excellent quality products to market in the UK and Europe. We will also endeavour to carry on Twin’s legacy and hope to work with more farmers in more origins in the near future.

⭕ was grown using environmentally friendly methods
⭕ is good quality
⭕ tastes great

And that's why we're completely #Fairtrade. ... See MoreSee Less
