Sustainability
The Problem
Cambodia lost twenty-five percent of its population to genocide in the 1970s and continues to face extreme poverty. Despite producing large quantities of fruit, much goes unsold or is bought at below market prices. Farmers lack the knowledge and resources to meet international standards, while also facing challenges like limited access to clean water, lack of education for their children and basic food staples. Many are trapped in cycles of debt, unable to repay microloans due to unsold produce.
The Solution
In collaboration with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and Asian Development Bank (ADB), Grove Fruit Growers mobilizes grant funds and facilitates resources to provide Cambodian farmers with the training needed to meet foreign market standards. These training programs focus on essential topics such as Good Agriculture Practices (GAP), Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs), traceability, and advanced growing and harvesting techniques.
Grove Fruit Growers is committed to meeting United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) to achieve a better and more sustainable future for Cambodia. Grove Fruit Growers meets the following UNSDGs:
A culmination of companies, farmer cooperatives, international development agencies, and an opportunity for YOU to participate in uplifting Cambodian people.
