Do you remember the Kilombero rice stall at SIGBI Federation Conference Glasgow 5-7 November 2015? SI Hamilton members sold 90kg fairly traded Kilombero rice. 90kg of rice is the amount of rice that a farmer in the Karonga Region of Northern Malawi would require to sell to send one of his or her children to secondary school for one year.
