We recently documented the Sustainable Coconut Project, a partnership between Grameen Foundation and Barry Callebaut, working with coconut farmers, cooperatives, and partner oil mills in the Davao Region. The project focuses on building a more sustainable and traceable coconut supply chain, from the farm all the way to the global market.
Through training and capacity building, Grameen works with cooperatives, who then bring better farming practices and new technologies to their farmer members. This helps improve the quality of coconuts and copra, while the partnership with New Asia Oil Inc. helps make the delivery and consolidation process more efficient for the cooperatives.
Better farming leads to better produce. Better produce leads to better processing. And ultimately, better quality coconut products make their way to the global market.
A full circle of collaboration, from farmers to cooperatives, from the mill to the world. 🌴
