| Impact, special achievements & commitments | | | As a German-Kenyan company, LIMBUA Group Ltd. views itself as an innovative link between 7 000 contracted small-scale farmers in Africa and demanding quality customers worldwide. Using technology to a high degree enables the direct support and supervision of the small-scale farmers and an effective value addition of macadamia and other crops from their mixed farms. This approach not only improves the small-scale farmers incomes, but also the value for the customers. By focusing strictly on organic agriculture, LIMBUA not only protects the environment in the producing countries, but also the health of the small-scale farmers and consumers. Already since its creation LIMBUA follows a unique, holistic philosophy. It operates modern decentralized production facilities directly at the villages of the small-scale farmers. This enables LIMBUA to reduce transport costs, to preserve the freshness and quality of the raw materials and, most importantly, to involve the small-scale farmers into the process of value addition and thus creating around 750 employments in the rural area. The FFL Premium Fund Decision Body which also includes farmers and employees has decided to use the current funds to increase the productivity of their organic crops. | ||||
