Nutcellars goes Fairtrade!

In September 2024, we launched our flagship Fairtrade products with Central Coop.

We're very proud that these are the UK's first 100% Fairtrade Macadamia products!

Fairtrade means that the farmers we work with in Malawi receive a better price for their crop, as well as Fairtrade premium payments.

Nutcellars macadamia nuts are from smallholder farmers in Malawi. By buying our products you are directly supporting them to plant more trees.

Macadamia nuts are among the healthiest in the world with unrivalled levels of monounsaturated fats.

sourced from malawi

Malawi is the 5th largest producer of macadamia nuts in the world, with an emerging movement of smallholder farmer co-operatives. One of the poorest countries in the world, this landlocked south eastern African country has traditionally exported tea, coffee and tobacco. 

the emmott family

Along with his parents, our grandfather, David Emmott, moved from England to Malawi in 1953. Granny Sue joined five years later and they were married that year. Together the two generations built up a smallholder potato production in Neno, before moving to the Thyolo district to join a tea estate in 1959.

the farmers

A forward-thinking group of smallholder farmers began growing macadamia in the highlands of Malawi in the 1970s.

In the 1990s, the Emmott family helped their foreman Timothy Kantiti start growing this crop in the Neno district. The central and northern district farmers started in the 2000s and now many farmers are trading through district co-operatives co-ordinated by HIMACUL.

tasty healthy sustainable macadamia nuts

The Neno Macadamia Trust (NMT) was founded in 2004 by David Emmott, built on the support that he and his father had been providing to the district since the 1950s. This support involved help establishing the potato, rice and tangerine industries - the success of these leading to the first planting of macadamia in the district in 1992.
