With an average land area of 4 hectares and no other sources of income, this provides the farmer with an income of $200 per year: far below the poverty line of $1.90 per day. In the Philippines, where most of the coconut we use in Holland comes from, about 56% of the coconut farmers, and 40% of the employees live in poverty. Farmers who don\u2019t own enough land, often are forced to work as climbers on bigger coconut farms. They climb about 30 trees per day \u2013 the trees being up to 30 meters high. If they fall, they are unable to work for some time while losing a substantial amount of income. This can be disastrous for both the farmer and his or her family.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videoWrapper videoHidden\"><div class=\"videoHidden_container\"><p>This video cannot be shown because you didn't accept the cookies.<br\/><a href=\"#\" class=\"button disable-smooth-scrolling\">Change choice<\/a><\/p><\/div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Je boodschappen zitten vol oneerlijke kokos...

The most obvious are products containing coconut milk, coconut water or coconut fibers, but many more products secretly contain coconut in the form of oil: which is nutritious, has a neutral taste and only turns soft if it is above room temperature. This is ideal for making ice cream that melts less quickly and biscuits that stay crunchy longer. It\u2019s processed in products like sweets, biscuits, ice cream, sauces, coffee creamer, chocolate products, and baby food.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-heading\">Blockchain can guarantee fair wages <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Paying coconut farmers a fair living wage would seem simple, but the journey a coconut undertakes from tree to plate is long and complicated. We believe change is possible. To prove this, we imported 1,000 fair coconuts from 55 Indonesian coconut farmers. These nuts aren\u2019t certified, because there is no need for that: each step from tree to plate is mapped and recorded in detail, with&nbsp;blockchain&nbsp;technology. Put simply: each coconut will have a unique code, with this you can find out precisely who picked the coconut, and what price he or she received for it. <\/p>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/fairfood.nl\/en\/case\/a-coconuts-journey\/\" class=\"button primary align-left  \" target=\"_blank\">Check our blockchained coconut<\/a>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"videoWrapper videoHidden\"><div class=\"videoHidden_container\"><p>This video cannot be shown because you didn't accept the cookies.<br\/><a href=\"#\" class=\"button disable-smooth-scrolling\">Change choice<\/a><\/p><\/div><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"De reis van een eerlijke kokosnoot | Fairfood\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aLAVoYDwYAM?feature=oembed\" data-cookie-name=\"cookieconsent\" data-cookie-value=\"accept\" \/ frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-light-background-color extra-padding pattern-top pattern-bottom\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<h2 class=\"block-title wp-block-heading\">The Netherlands can make a serious change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">The Netherlands is the second largest coconut oil importer in the world. 89% of the value of all coconut products that we import is coconut oil. We immediately export a large part of this oil. However, a substantial part, 107 million kilos, is processed in the Netherlands. This is subsequently consumed or exported in products. Approximately, 16 million smallholder farmers are behind the coconut we use in the Netherlands. There is relatively little research available about the employees on plantations and smallholder farmers. Fairfood estimates that number to be about 5 million.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:62px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block-testimonial\">\n\n\t<section class=\"row\">\t\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"customer-meta\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row align-items-center\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-3 customer-profile-picture\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fairfood.org\/app\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Sander-de-Jong-e1591288876824-150x150-c-center.jpg\" alt=\"Sander de Jong\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-lg-9\">\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"customer-name\">Sander de Jong<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"customer-company\">Director at Fairfood<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 testimonial\">\n\t\t\t<p>By scanning a QR-code on the coconut you could see exactly where it came from and what was paid to whom.

With more diction: a living income is the compensation that a self-employed individual receives for a standard working week that enables that farmer and all his\/her family to afford a decent living. This means, among other things, that the household can afford basic necessities like: sufficient food and water, a roof over their heads, education, health care, transport and education. After basic necessities, the farmer should also have enough money to save, and build a pension.<\/p>\n<p>It is important though, to make a distinction between &#8220;living wages&#8221; and &#8220;living income&#8221;: a living wage applies to people with wages, whereas a living income applies to self-employed workers, such as the farmers behind our coffee.

As consumers we (naturally) buy products from opaque supply chains &#8211; it is simply how the food system is largely operating at the moment. However, every product has their own individual story; we intend to tell that story. These stories extend far beyond the product that we consume. It goes all the way back to the players at the beginning of our food supply chains: the farmers and food workers.<\/p>\n<p>If we can trace back the history of a product, we could identify some deep-rooted issues that the people at the beginning of the chain are facing. Issues like poverty and unfair pricing are real problems that need to be addressed.
