Cornelius Lynch is a banana farmer in St Lucia
Cornelius has been a farmer for 23 years. For many years he grew bananas on a small plot owned by his family. The land was very steep and hard to farm with no prospects of expanding production or improving his income
"Fairtrade has had a huge impact on me and our communities. Improving the standard of living, changing the mind-set of little or no regard for the environment, bringing people of common objectives together, empowering producers and communities... the list goes on. In short, Fairtrade has proven to be our window of hope in this global environment."
Average price of a bunch of bananas: 95p
Average price of a bunch of Fairtrade bananas: £1.18
