About the fairtrade certified cotton in our T-shirts: Agrocel is an organisation in India that supplies the cotton in our T-shirts. Agrocel visits cotton farms weekly to get to know each farmer in its service area - over 1,500 strong. When it buys cotton from the farmers, it pays them an 8% premium. If there are no immediate buyers for the cotton, Agrocel stores the cotton in its cotton bank at its cost until it is sold. Agrocel also arranges for the organic certification of the cotton on behalf of the individual farmers.

A share of the proceeds from the sale of this t-shirt - 7.5% of the net sales price - will be used to support Traidcraft's important development work in India. If you would like to make an additional donation to Traidcraft Exchange, please select your donation amount below and the amount will be added to your basket.

About the Printer: Fair Trade Media t-shirts are printed by T-shirt and Sons Ltd - the only UK Soil Association certified organic t-shirt printer. They specialise in printing t-shirts made form fair-trade and organic certified cotton.
