Commodity Hub India

In India, the project operates along the supply chains of cotton, tea, and spices, with the goal of increasing sustainability in these sectors. This is achieved by strengthening the capacities of producers, promoting local value addition, and supporting the adoption of climate-resilient and sustainable farming practices.In the field of sustainable production, the project assists smallholder farmers and their organizations in transitioning to farming methods aligned with internationally recognized sustainability standards. This contributes not only to environmental protection but also to improving the economic and social conditions of producers.At the same time, local processing is supported through the expansion of processing capacities and the piloting of innovative approaches. These measures aim to enhance regional value creation and unlock economic potential more effectively.A core focus of the project is also the establishment of sustainable supply chains—from the retail shelf back to the production regions. In collaboration with key stakeholders along the entire chain, the project develops structures that promote transparency, traceability, and accountability at every stage.In addition, the project fosters global knowledge exchange. Programme partners actively engage in international dialogues and contribute to the transfer of knowledge on good agricultural practices and innovations across the targeted supply chains.
