Supports ALKO Cooperative, Kerinci, Sumatra
The project
Located near Sumatra's largest national park, home to the critically endangered Sumatran tiger, ALKO employs innovative traceability technology to prevent farmers from encroaching on the park and to support local livelihoods.
The people
ALKO is a cooperative of over 400 farmers in the Kerinci region, where the farmers manage the collection and processing, sharing in the profits. By scanning the QR code on the coffee, you can meet the farmer. Through the use of blockchain, ALKO has provided price transparency and increased the prices for coffee. Women play a key role in managing the process and in providing training and educational support to the farmers.
