ACOM's Farmfit Fund with IDH
Last year, IDH Farmfit Fund provided a USD 1M loan to finance inputs and fertilisers to smallholder coffee farmers in ACOM’s supply chain. This summer IDH had the pleasure of visiting the program.
We are extremely proud to partner with IDH in the framework of a sustainable coffee supply chain project in Vietnam with the support of our SMS team. The project is leveraging both organizations' strengths for the benefit of small-scale coffee farmers and the environment.
