In our Rice business, we work closely with rice millers, farmers and third-party suppliers to source and supply high-quality rice around the world. We’ve established key partnerships, such as with the Thai Rice Department, the Vietnamese Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MARD), and the German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), to promote sustainable rice cultivation. In Southeast Asia, through these partnerships, we work closely with smallholder rice farmers to train them in climate-smart farming practices so that they are able to produce safer, higher quality rice that lead to improved yields and increased incomes for the farmers. Our Market Oriented Smallholder Value Chain (MSVC) programme has benefitted 29,000 farmers across Thailand and Vietnam, raising their incomes by up to 20%. The programme won the highest sustainability recognition, the Farm Sustainability Assessment Gold Level by the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative Platform in 2022 and has been nominated for the Reuters Responsible Business Awards in 2023. Building on its success, the initiative has expanded to India and Nigeria.
