Feral Trade是一个基于社交网络的公共实验性交易平台。 “野性（feral）”这个词描述了一个如鸽子般寻求野性的过程，而不是浪漫如狼或生而野性的。商品本身作为一个通道使得其他信息，技术或个人能够以此窥见到不同的社会环境。
Feral Trade最早于2003年登记，第 一笔进口生意是从位于圣佩德罗萨尔瓦多的Sociedad Cooperative de Cafecultores Nonualcos R.L. (CODECANO) 进口30公斤咖啡到英国Bristol的Cube Microplex。这次交易仅仅通过社会性接触进行谈判，并通过电子邮件，银行汇款和短信展开。在英国和欧洲，通过社会、文化和工作网络开展咖啡贸易， 利用休闲、交通和文化旅游的顺差货运潜力达到实际商品流通的目的。便携性、可固定性及社交功能成为新商品的选择条件：目前在feral trade流动的商品包括来自萨尔瓦多的咖啡和来自克罗地亚的格拉巴酒，来自孟加拉国的茶以及来自伊朗伊斯兰共和国的新鲜糖果。

Feral Trade is a public experiment trading goods over social networks. The word ‘feral’ describes a process which is wilfully wild (as in pigeon) as opposed to romantically or nature-wild (wolf). The passage of goods can open up wormholes between diverse social settings, routes along which other information, techniques or individuals can potentially travel.
The first registered feral trade was in 2003, with the import of 30kg coffee direct from Sociedad Cooperative de Cafecultores Nonualcos R.L. (CODECANO) in San Pedro Nonualco El Salvador to the Cube Microplex, Bristol UK. The import was negotiated using only social contacts, and conducted via email, bank transfer and SMS. The coffee is traded on through the UK and Europe over social, cultural and occupational networks; harnessing the surplus freight potential of recreational, commuter and cultural travel for the practical circulation of goods. New products are chosen for their portability, shelf-life and capacity for sociability: feral trade goods in current circulation include the coffee from El Salvador plus grappa from Croatia, tea from Bangladesh and fresh sweets from the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Design and production of documentary product packaging is an integral part of the feral trade process, with a view to rendering details of source, shipping and handling with the microattention that ingredient listings normally receive. See the feral trade courier for more information.

feraltrade courier -> goods -> cacao
product: cacao
more information: http://www.feraltrade.org/
source: Pura Vida (Bahia, Brazil)
unit scale: bag
sourced via: This raw cacao bean in shell hails from Bahia, a massive cacao cashpot. Plantations date back to colonial times, their lawns sport lavish white landowner houses. The cacao is little used or appreciated locally, except perhaps in condensed milk cocktails: production is entirely for the export market. Recent blight has meant the cacao produced is worth a little less – it still sells but the quality is lower. The cacao was grown on a farm called Pura Vida, named by English tourists who bought it and decided to make the farm a collective property via selling shares. Investors can visit whenever they like, although as foreigners they can’t live there all the time for visa reasons. The cacao workers – usually itinerant – were asked to stay on and cultivate a garden to feed themselves, run the cacao plantation as a business. Most of the workers are not literate and have trouble with the bookkeeping. A recent visitor to the estate described the arrangement as straightforward compassionate colonialism. Visitors to the plantation can spend all day eating and watching donkeys work.
