We are committed to support >2,500 farmer families directly and more than 15.000 indirectly through the Selecta Coffee Fund [SCF] by 2025. The SCF contributes to sustainability initiatives throughout our value chain, with a focus on supporting the development of coffee farmers, their families and their communities in coffee growing areas around the world. Through the SCF, we focus on four impact areas: i. Farmer Prosperity ii. Social Equity iii. Ecosystem Protection iv. Carbon Reduction and Climate Resilience. We do this by investing in farm-level programs in regions where we source coffee for Pelican Rouge Coffee Roasters, in close collaboration with supply chain partners.

The Burundi project builds upon a network of certified farmers and takes the next step – beyond certification – to improve the livelihoods of coffee farmers. Our program targets more than 11,000 farmers that are centered around 11 coffee washing stations in the Mumirwa region. In the Good Agriculture Practices [GAP] program, 434 lead farmers have received training: 381 men and 43 women. In Rwanda, by the end of 2021, at total of 319 farmers had received GAP training, of whom 96 were women.
