I have a story for you based on my experience. I’ve monitored farmland (25+ on my own and 10+ with my co-workers). Most farmers focus on four things: - Crops - Products they use for crops - Weather conditions - Pests Therefore, when harvests fail, farmers emphasize those four things. They forget something crucial: The soil. Farmers often plant repeatedly after harvested and take less care of the soil, which can cause it to become exhausted, and problems arise: - Diseases appear - Poor plant growth, reducing quality and leading to lower yield I found a village in Indonesia where farmers harvest only once a year, but their crops are high-quality and have a massive yield. This is because of one thing, they give the soil time to rest and enrich it with natural compost, thus maintaining its health and productivity. This story isn't just about the soil) #journeyoflearning

#Partnership with the private sector is one of the important aspects that must be realized. Connectivity with markets and the #supplychain must be established so that #smallholderfarmers can achieve the targeted improvement in their living standards. #Solidaridad has opened a partnership pathway with PT Pilar Wana Persada (PWP), located in Lamandau District, Central Kalimantan, in preparation for the implementation of the P2P (Pathways to Prosperity) project. PWP is one of the #privatecompanies engaged in #palmoil production. Despite already having 3,200 hectares of nucleus plantation and 2,481 hectares of plasma plantation, PWP still requires additional FFB (fresh fruit bunch) supply from 1,500 local smallholder farmers. PWP welcomed Solidaridad's arrival in Lamandau, especially to guide the implementation of #goodagriculturalpractices referring to aspects of #fruittraceability, data collection, STDB registration, and institutional strengthening. PWP also hopes that this partnership will bring great benefits to the 1,500 smallholder farmers who supply their mill. Solidaridad also took the opportunity to meet with members of the 4 #cooperatives in Lamandau. This opportunity was used to introduce Solidaridad and offer guidance activities. This effort was well received by cooperative members who felt that they had not previously received assistance from any non-governmental organization. As a result, farmer's field school classes have started for 2 #cooperatives, namely Petani Sukses Bersama Cooperative and Bukit Makmur Sejahtera Cooperative. There are 4 classes have already started, with a total of 200 farmers participating, all of whom are ex-plasma farmers.

🦐💹 Shrimp #aquaculture in South Sumatra, Indonesia, is set for a transformative leap through the implementation of #traceability platforms and innovative sustainable financing solutions. Small-scale producers often need help restricting access to capital and credit, which limits their ability to adopt environmentally responsible practices.     According to the Central Statistics Agency of Indonesia (BPS), in 2019, less than 14.58 million people, or around 90% of Indonesia's fishermen, lived below the poverty line and were economically and politically powerless. This lack of sufficient financial resources hampers their capacity for expansion and efficiency.     Read the full story to learn how we at Koltiva are helping Aquarev, an aqua-tech company providing an end-to-end solution to shrimp producers, transform the financial landscape for shrimp producers in Lampung, South Sumatra.

Coconut production in Cambodia has steadily increased in recent years due to favorable climatic conditions and government support for agricultural development. As of now, Cambodia is not among the top coconut-producing countries globally. However, with strategic planning, investments in infrastructure, technology advancements, and implementation of efficient agricultural practices, there is a viable opportunity for Cambodia to substantially boost its coconut production and become one of the top three coconut producers in the world. Our goal at BOB COCONUT 🥥 is to make Cambodia one of the top three coconut producers in the world demonstrates ambition and vision for the agricultural sector in the country. By focusing on increasing productivity, ensuring quality standards, fostering innovation, and expanding market reach, this objective is achievable over time. Building partnerships with industry experts, leveraging research and development, providing training programs for farmers, and enhancing supply chain efficiency will be essential steps towards realizing this goal. Furthermore, promoting sustainable practices and adhering to international agricultural guidelines will enhance Cambodia's reputation as a reliable and competitive coconut producer on the global stage. #bobcoconut #cambodiancoconut #proudlycambodian
