Dear Reader,

I am one of Olam’s sustainability initiative coordinators based in Sumatra. I helped to develop our 6-year old cocoa sustainability programme in Sulawesi and now I coordinate the training of about 5,000 farmers in Sumatra through a network of 15 field training staff.

I am actively involved with promoting innovative pest management practices, helping to make organic herbicide, fertiliser and pesticides for the rejuvenation of non-productive cocoa plantations.

Regards

Khairuddin
