Fair Trade stalls, delicious rice and a guest of honour from Malawi
Kilombero Rice farmer, Howard Msukwa is in Scotland now and at the weekend Fair Trade supporters were able to enjoy his company at Gavin’s Mill in Milngavie near Glasgow. TOP founder, John Riches joined Howard in telling the rice story and guests enjoyed some delicious Kilombero rice dishes. The venue also hosted another Fairtrade Fortnight event with stalls from True Oigin, Hadeel and others. A great day indeed.
