Banyan Tree Crafts is a fairtrade wholesaler listed in the British Association for Fair Trade Shops
(BAFTS) Importers' Directory. We trade directly with a Tibetan

movement in Tamil Nadu, South India.
Below is a summary of our fairtrade policies.
- We deal with producers on the basis of friendship & have regular contact
with them.
- We pay a fair price.
- We pay in advance, ensuring producers can afford to live whilst making an
order.
- We ensure good working conditions for producers.
- We have continuity of buying.
- We give information about the products, the producers & their community
to stockists, and encourage them to pass
this information on to their customers. Information is published on
this website, too.

- We ensure crafts are selected with concern for the environment.
