A special award was presented to the company Arayuma on October 3, 2013, in Toronto for their product “Premium Organic Coconut Milk”, voted “Canada’s Favorite Fair-trade Product for 2013” by a large number of Canadians during Fair Trade Fortnight. The Fair Trade Fortnight is an annual two-week blitz celebrating and promoting all Fair Trade, taking place during May 1 to 15.

Fair Trade Canada presented this award to the couple Chanaka Kurera and Marise May who are the founders of Arayuma.
