Video: Kenyan packhouse worker Marriam tells about her life and the impact of a Living Wage
Eosta is now selling organic Living Wage avocado's to supermarkets and health food stores, being the first in the world to do so. These Kenyan avocado's, from Nature & More grower Anthony Ngugi, are sold with a 2 cent per kg premium, to allow for Living Wages to be paid to the 83 employees of Anthony's packing house.
In this video packhouse worker Marriam (30) tells about her life situation, and the positive impact that this Living Wage project will have. She has two kids, her parents and a brother and sister who depend on her income. A Living Wage will help her to give better education to her kids and many other advantages.
A Living Wage is a wage that supports a decent standard of living for a worker, including their family. This covers basis needs like food, clothing and housing, but also education, healthcare, and money to save for unexpected life events. A Living Wage is not the same as a minimum wage, because in many countries the legal minimum is much lower than a Living Wage. For more information about Living Wages: see www.livingwage.eu.

The new season for organic Hicaz pomegranates from Turkey has got off to a promising start. Following last year’s limited harvest, expectations among our two regular producers, Göknur and Başak Tarım, are clearly more positive. Our Product Manager, Joep van Koevorden, recently visited both growers to assess the new harvest and discuss the prospects for the coming season.
From a vast organic orchard in Kozan to family land with centuries of history in Söke: behind our Turkish pomegranates lie two very different stories. Discover how Göknur and Başak Tarım each go about growing organic Hicaz pomegranates in their own way.
From warming teas and golden milk to fresh shots, smoothies and curries: ginger and turmeric are versatile ingredients that are perfect for the autumn and winter seasons.
