SUMMARY
Justa Trama's initiative is about the development of the agroecological cotton chain in all production links, from planting to the production and marketing of clothing. The process, based on solidarity economy, establishes fair values for each stage of production, without intermediaries.
GOALS
Promoting the economic security of workers in the agroecological cotton production chain through networking and the foundations of the solidarity economy.
DESCRIPTION
Cotton is practically unanimous in the wardrobe of all Brazilians, yet many families who grow it have a low income.
The Justa Trama Cooperative was born in 2005 with the idea of adding value to the final product and ensuring a good remuneration for all stages of manufacturing.
Justa Trama is the largest production chain in the textile making segment of the solidarity economy and its products are sold in various states of the country and abroad. The revenues from this process are distributed fairly among all links in this production chain, ensuring more income and a better quality of life for all.
RESULTS ACHIEVED
By integrating workers from the various agroecological cotton production links - from planting, spinning, weaving to clothing and product making - 30% to 100% higher turnover has been made possible for more than 500 families involved.
