Three areas of action
Over the next five years, Nestlé will double the amount of Nescafé coffee bought directly from farmers and their associations, purchasing 180,000 tonnes of coffee from around 170,000 famers. With the support of Rainforest Alliance and 4C, all directly purchased green coffee will be compliant with the internationally recognized 4C sustainability standards by 2015. In addition, 90,000 tonnes of Nescafé coffee will be sourced according to Rainforest Alliance (SAN) principles by 2020. Nestlé expands its technical assistance programmes for farmers, providing advice on farming and post-harvest practices to over ten thousand coffee farmers per year. Nestlé also sets up new microfinance schemes for coffee farmers and increases the number of community projects focused on education, public health and water supply. Nestlé will distribute 220 million high-yielding, disease-resistant coffee plantlets to farmers by 2020, through partnerships with public and private institutions in countries such as Mexico, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines, where Nestlé has already distributed over 16 million coffee plantlets in the past ten years. New propagation centres will open in coffee producing countries, starting with Mexico.
