The UK importer of the Fairtrade raisins in our muesli went into liquidation some time ago, leaving the producers in Uzbekistan with no entry route to the UK. We want to keep supporting them but that means we now have to import our raisins from Uzbekistan via Germany, which is a lot more expensive. Sadly, when the new batch arrives, the price will have to rise to £5.19 a box.
It will cost us around £5000 to import the next batch of raisins and we are looking to raise about £3000 of that by pre-selling the next batch (which we hope will be ready at the end of December). Every pre-order goes straight towards paying for the raisins, and in return you pay just £4.35 a box.
Pre-orders close at midnight on Sunday 15 November.
How it works: nothing is posted when you pre-order. Once the new batch is available, we'll email you one or two discount codes (depending on what you have pre-ordered). Order as normal and the code(s) will reduce the price for you. If you have ordered 24 boxes in one drop you will also get free postage. Otherwise, postage is charged as normal.
Each 500g box is our familiar Fairtrade Fruit and Nut Muesli: sun-dried Fairtrade raisins from Uzbekistan, Fairtrade almonds from the West Bank with oats, malted wheat flakes, barley and sunflower seeds.
