Empowering Cassia Farming Communities

How we helped

Investment in a multi-year responsible-sourcing program strengthened farmer capability, certification of readiness, and access to markets. Training in plant health, harvesting, post-harvest handling, heavy-metal compliance, UEBT requirements, water treatment and gender equality is helping growers meet international expectations while creating greater value at origin. In 2025, the project engaged 158 farmers cultivating cassia across 315 hectares, with 142 farmers achieving UEBT certification and producing 339 metric tons of certified cassia material. These achievements are significant toward building a more transparent, ethical, and sustainable supply chain while creating greater value for farming communities.
