Created for Farmers
CashewNotes is a « Farmers first » initiative
As such it is built around the sector's pitfalls and more particularly the difficulties met by Cambodian farmers. The success of the initiative will therefore be measured by the impact it creates on the farmers’ livelihood and their capacity to sustain their agriculture operation with respect to the quality requirement and their environment.
Our Actions
Fix an above-market purchase price from the farmers, and guarantee it through agriculture contracts.
Create awareness of the quality of Cambodian produce.
Develop derivate products thus increasing farmers' income sources
Provide our farmers with continuous support aiming at increasing their productivity and revenue
Allocate a consequent budget, from the venture revenue, to constitute a farmers’ development fund, dedicated to specific R&D and investments in improving the farmers' overall production (expertise, tools, quality inputs, etc.)
Create a profile for each farmer, allowing him to exchange with a specifically created personal support community from around the world.
Quality responsible produce
To participate in the CashewNotes venture, the farmers must agree to commit to a chart, containing a list of obligations that are intended for the creation of an harmonious ecosystem.
- High-quality produce
- Refrain from the use of toxic pesticides
- Work responsibly by respecting their partners and employees
- Respect the natural ecosystem surrounding them
- Refrain from damaging natural ecosystems through deforestation.
- Use organic production methods
These commitments by the farmers, controlled by our team and our partners, will lead to a future certification of the farmers' production, which will play an important role in the necessary, long-term, value creation, that will allow supporting their work and, in fine, improve their surroundings, strengthen their community, and increase their income.
