Supportive business ecosystems

Women make vital contributions to agricultural supply chains across the globe. On International Women’s Day, we join the international community in calling for the rights, equality and empowerment of all women and girls. Each day we see these values expressed in the voices of women we work with in global supply chains.

The lush green fields of Tapan Mandal’s small tea farm in West Bengal, India, may paint a picture of prosperity, but his journey has not been an easy one. Under the RECLAIM Sustainability! programme, Solidaridad is supporting small tea growers, like Tapan, to organize themselves into collectives and strengthen existing collectives.
