4Food meets Fairtrade producers from around the world to find out exactly what we're paying for when we pick up a Fairtrade product.
Rosemary Kadzitche is a Fairtrade peanut farmer from Malawi
"There is a lot of poverty in our village. Although the area is very good for growing peanuts many people are unable to afford new groundnut seed. This means they cannot produce any nuts worth selling. Then they become vulnerable and destitute. It is terrible to witness this happening to our fellow farmers.
Over the past two years Fairtrade has made a difference to our lives. It has bought a better and more stable market for our peanuts. The Fairtrade premium will help alleviate poverty in the area."
Average price of a 300g bag of peanuts: £1.09
Average price of a 150g bag of Fairtrade peanuts: £1.42
