The mission of the Soft Commodities Forum is one that can only be executed if farmers and downstream players work in close partnership towards more sustainable production. The AgroPlus technical assistance programme provides much needed technical support to farmers, particularly in SCF’s priority municipalities. It offers farmers a way to assess the status of their farms from different environmental, social and financial angles, and advises them on measures to improve sustainable farming practices.

AgroPlus operates through several partnerships and COFCO International is one of the programme’s partners in the State of Tocantins, which includes SCF priority municipalities. In 2022, the programme provides technical assistance to 20 Tocantins farms, with plans to increase the number to 50 by May 2023.

In its decade of existence, the programme has improved production standards of participating farmers following their assessments and training cycles, incentivising better land use management. The programme is also fully aligned with SCF’s stakeholder engagement element and is helping COFCO International make sound progress in the implementation of their DCF strategy.
