CORPORATE SOCIALRESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY BarryCallebaut Annual Report2010/11 Quality Partner Program (QPP)/PartenairedeQualité in Côte d’Ivoire Barry Callebaut established its Quality Partner Program (QPP) for cocoa farmer cooperatives in 2005. Theemphasis of the partnership program is on “quality” – • improving the quality of cocoa farms through farmer training, • improving the quality of cocoa beans supplied to Barry Callebaut through sound production, harvesting and post-harvest management techniques, • improving the overall quality of life of cocoa farmers and their families by offering opportunities to earn morefromhigher yields and improved quality of crops,and through improved access to health careand education Quality Partner Program (QPP) Objectives · To raise cocoa farmer incomes by providing better market access and training to increase yields and improve quality · To enable cooperatives to better serve their farmer members by providing business training and financing support · To further advance farm productivity and increase income by providing cooperatives and farmers with access to new technologies and research developments,such as improved plant materials and post-harvest processing methods We chose to work with cocoa farmer cooperatives because we believe they offer an efficient and cost-effective sourcing channel for Barry Callebaut and abeneficial structure for smallholder farmers in Côte d’Ivoire. Since launching the Quality Partner Program, we have adapted some of our initial performance targets to better match the capacities of our partners and the realities in the field.While some cooperatives and unions have demonstrated continuous improvement, others often struggle to reach targets during each crop season. Financing assistance is also needed by many cooperatives in order to support their farmer members and for operational purposes.This underscores the need for training to increase the professionalism and further develop the capacities of these organizations to serve their farmer members. Challenges and achievements QPP was set up as along-term program with afocus on continuous improvement. Theaim was to move partners up the pyramid from the base or starting level to the top level in three years.Meeting this goal proved challenging due to significant gaps in administrative and management skills in many of the farmer organizations. Further challenges included the limited knowledge by many participating farmers of proper agricultural practices and post-harvest management techniques,the lack of perceived incentives to produce quality cocoa, the poor condition of many farms, inadequate infrastructure, lack of financing options,and high levels of illiteracy. We work with cooperatives to provide training opportunities to their farmer members.Wealso guide cooperatives on how to integrate quality standards into their business processes. In2009/10, we supported 68 new Farmer Field Schools. These were regularly attended by 1,570 farmers from seven cooperatives, and resulted in yield improvements of 20% due to the implementation of improved farmer practices and training. In2010/11, 1,710 farmers from QPP coops were trained in Farmer Field Schools. 43
