The project will demonstrate a replicable, scalable business model for the production of sustainable palm oil by independent smallholders. The project will enable an increase in total annual gross margin for participating smallholders through strengthening farmer grouping and group certification allowing employment of better farming practices (technology), better linkage to markets, increasing access to finance and broadly influencing adoption of the model by the industry. To achieve the overall goal the following objectives shall be realized by project by: Objective 1: Farmers will implement good agricultural practices (GAP) based on the training provided on GAP standards and best management practices (BMP), crop management and soil nutrition. Objective 2: Independent smallholders will be integrated into lead firms supply chains. Objective 3: Financial institutions will disburse loans for working capital and replanting to farmers through the development and launching of financial products targeted the needs of the independents smallholders. Objective 4: Based on recommendations from the business model the supply chain procedures within the industry will be influenced. Achieving these objectives will test and prove a model for smallholder engagement, organizational development and capacity building that can facilitate improved access to inputs and markets for independent smallholder farmers. In addition, a number of assessments will form the basis for potential follow-on projects.
