Nedspice-Farmers Partnership ProgrammeNedspice believes that backward integration and sustainability are the main challenges for the food industry in the years ahead. In the spice sector many, often aging, smallholder farmers move to high intensive crops. Not only does this affect the scarcity of spices, it also has negative effects on the environment.
To ensure that spice farming remains financially attractive and offers a sustainable livelihood for farmers Nedspice has the ambition to develop backward integration programmes for farmers in Vietnam and India and other countries we work in. This ambition is laid down in the Nedspice-Farmers Partnership Programme which defines the approach, key principles as well as the expected results. Current projects include sustainable cumin and turmeric farming in India and sustainable pepper farming in Vietnam, for which we obtained certification.
