Connecting sustainable coconut oil to the world’s markets
Connecting sustainable coconut oil to the world’s markets
As is the case with many industries, consumers who buy coconut oil products are increasingly interested in knowing that the ingredients were sustainably sourced and produced.
Cargill is one of the first companies to implement coconut oil sustainability standards, working with local farmers to train them on the requirements and practices, and to help set up systems for certification.
The oil goes into consumer products ranging from shampoo to lotion to cooking oil, creating jobs and opportunities across a broad range of industries.
Cargill, along with other development partners, supports the production of sustainable crops by providing farmers with training and expertise on a local level, as well as helping face the complex challenges in bringing crops to market.
