Twin Trading
Twin Trading is a leading alternative trading company in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1985 and is based in London.
Twin Trading is wholly owned by Twin, a registered charity and membership organisation.
Twin was founded as the Third World Information Network with the support of the Greater London Council. In 1988 it began to import coffee, sold through Oxfam and Traidcraft, leading to the 1988 founding of Cafédirect by Twin with Oxfam, Traidcraft and Equal Exchange Trading. In 1993, Twin helped chocolate farmers in Ghana to found the Kuapa Kokoo co-operative, and in 1998 Divine Chocolate was formed, largely owned by Kuapa Kokoo, to market Fairtrade chocolate. Twin has also launched OKÉ and Liberation Nuts.
