Keresa Smallholders

Overview

The Wild Asia Group Scheme (WAGS) model was first piloted with Keresa Plantations and Mill. In 2010, Wild Asia worked with Keresa Plantations & Mill to demonstrate a model to support their independent small farmers. We provided the technical inputs: developed the management system, conducted risk assessments, documentation support and training of the small farmers. For Keresa, small farmers only make up less than 2% of their supply base but the company feels that the investments into the community was a meaningful way of contributing to the society. The model developed with Keresa became the prototype for WAGS which is now being applied to other CPO mills that are interested to foster a mutually beneficial relationship with its small farmers.
