Sustainability and impact

Growing better. Feeding further.

We measure our success by what changes on the farms we work with: more food, better incomes, healthier land.

420+ direct jobs and 2,000+ seasonal jobs.

Five impact themes

1
Farmers first
When a farmer plants clean seed, learns better methods and knows who will buy the harvest, everything improves. Our network farmers' yields have risen by 35% on average.
2
Food on African tables
Most of what we handle feeds people in Kenya, Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire: potatoes, milk, maize, cassava, yams and vegetables. Drying, cold storage and processing mean less food is lost after harvest.
3
Jobs where they are needed
Our nurseries, plants and packhouses employ more than 420 people and offer over 2,000 seasonal jobs each year, most of them in rural areas and many held by women and young people.
4
Value that stays in Africa
Processing cocoa, cashew, cassava and milk in our own facilities creates skilled jobs and earns more per tonne for the region.
5
Healthy land
Organic methods, composting, integrated pest management, efficient irrigation, and cocoa and palm oil that never come from cleared forest.

No deforestation: Every cocoa and oil palm farm in our network is GPS-mapped and checked against forest maps, in line with the EU Deforestation Regulation.
No child labour: We monitor farmer groups, train communities, and support school attendance in cocoa and cashew areas.
Fair dealing: Prices and quality grades are agreed before planting, and payments are made on time, increasingly by mobile money.
