Thank you for standing with banana farmers and workers. 

Banana farmers and workers need your support

The people who grow our bananas are facing growing pressures. Climate change is increasing the risk of extreme weather and crop disease, while rising production and transport costs continue to put livelihoods under strain.

For more than two decades, Sainsbury's, Co-op and Waitrose have shown that a different way of doing business is possible, committing to sourcing 100% Fairtrade bananas and helping farmers and workers earn fairer returns for their hard work.

At a time when building fair, resilient and sustainable banana supply chains has never been more important, we want to make sure these commitments continue.

That's why Fairtrade supporters across the UK are coming together to thank these retailers for standing with banana producers and to encourage them to maintain their commitment to 100% Fairtrade bananas.

Add your name today and help show that shoppers value bananas that are fair for the people who grow them.

A thank you card from Fairtrade campaigners:  

Dear [Sainsbury’s / Co-op / Waitrose], 

Thank you for your commitment to sourcing 100% Fairtrade bananas. 

As long-standing Fairtrade campaigners, we know how much this commitment matters. Banana farmers and workers are facing growing pressures, including climate volatility, crop disease and rising production and transport costs. 

At a time when building a fair and resilient banana supply chain has never been more important, 100% commitments like yours create the scale and certainty needed to deliver impact for farmers and workers. Collectively, these commitments help create a tipping point, where Fairtrade becomes a meaningful part of producers’ businesses and helps underpin stronger, more resilient producer organisations and supply chains.  

We truly appreciate the commitment you have made. Please continue to stand with banana producers and sustain your support for 100% Fairtrade bananas. 

With thanks,
Fairtrade campaigners across the UK
