Product Overview

 

High-quality fairtrade Ndali vanilla is produced and harvested by the Rwenzori Farmers in Western Uganda. Product supporters, like Ben and Jerry's, use Ndali vanilla not only for its flavor but also to promote a system that empowers farmers by paying them fairly. Besides producing and harvesting products through a system of agroforestry, the Rwenzori Farmers Cooperative Union is responsible for planting 601, 446 trees throughout the region, which equates to 1,055 Ha of reforested land.
