Circle of Goodness Part 4: Fair Prices with Farmerline
As you may have read in the previous parts of our blog series, we are on our way to becoming the first Fair Trade toilet paper brand in the world in partnership with the World Fair Trade Organization. We are doing this together with the farmers in Ghana! In this blog you will learn all about our partnership with Farmerline.
Farmerline's Impact on Fair Payment for Bamboo Farmers
We value transparency and efficiency, and Farmerline's advanced platform fits perfectly with those goals. Through this partnership, we want to ensure that all payments to our farmers will be fair and transparent!
So, let’s talk about Farmerline! It’s an app that’s changing the way we process farmer payments. No more stuffy, old-fashioned methods – they’re using technology to ensure farmers get exactly what they’re owed. It’s blazing fast, it’s simple, and best of all, it’s transparent. Before Farmerline, farmers were mostly cash-based and struggled with payment delays due to logistics and middlemen. Our goal is to ensure our farmers get their money directly into their mobile wallet – all you need is a phone and a sim card!
Farmerline's Impact on Fair Prices and Financial Autonomy
What makes Farmerline unique? It’s all about transparent and secure transactions. Every step is meticulously recorded, allowing farmers to build a valuable financial history. This openness creates trust and opens the door to a better financial future. After the bamboo has been harvested and weighed, Farmerline will calculate the price based on the brand new kilo price set by Fair Trade. Furthermore, farmers then have direct access to market information, allowing them to make smart choices about selling their products for fair prices and avoiding the middlemen. But we don’t stop there. We also want to help farmers with their taxes through Farmerline. By simplifying tax matters and ensuring direct payments, farmers’ financial administration will run smoothly again.
