Promoting Co-operatives

In Madagascar, there has been significant geranium production for more than 75 years. There is currently a network of over 700 smallholder farmers organised into various co-operatives.

In Kenya, our Co-Impact sourcing initiatives for Geranium include training smallholder farmers, providing critically important initial inputs, supporting co-operatives, and continued monitoring and evaluation of our initiative through a third-party programme with the University of Oxford.

Initiatives in both countries include contracts with fair and transparent pricing, and providing smallholder farmers with a stable and predictable source of income.
