POMPANO BEACH, FL - Purchases of Sol Group Marketing's Fair Trade Certified™ melons offers a premium invested into growing communities in Honduras and Guatemala. These efforts are being made because the company is tapping into the concerns of consumers, who have become increasingly more interested in products that benefit workers in the regions where produce is sourced.
Socially conscious consumers are supporting and empowering growing communities. Sol Farms workers reap life-altering rewards because of enhanced programs that establish better communities and well-beings within them, thanks to the investment of Fair Trade premiums. The Fair Trade Certified melons that are purchased through Sol Group benefit a wide array of causes within the communities, including projects that provide families with access to clean water and affordable healthcare and programs that help children get school supplies and essential necessities. The initiatives have helped over 4,500 families in the growing regions since 2014, and the company is dedicated to the sustainment of communities for generations hereafter, as part of Fyffes since 2007, according to a press release..
