Support a Farmer Directly
You do not have to buy tea to make a difference
Why Smallholder Farmers Need Your Support
Smallholder tea farmers in Ilam, Nepal face persistent challenges: limited market access, unreliable payment chains, and lack of investment to improve their farms and processing methods.
Even when they grow world-class tea, the value does not reach them. IOCP CERTIFIED is changing this — but building the infrastructure of a fair, transparent marketplace requires more than tea sales alone.
Your direct contribution funds farmer registration, farm verification visits, equipment support, digital tools, and the ongoing operation of this platform — so more farmers can access fair markets.
How Your Support Is Used
🌱 Farm Verification
Covers the cost of in-person farm visits, soil testing, and documentation for new farmers joining the IOCP CERTIFIED programme.
📱 Digital Tools
Provides smartphones and basic digital literacy support so farmers can track their own sales, view payment records, and communicate with buyers.
🏭 Processing Equipment
Helps fund small-scale tea processing tools that allow farmers to improve quality and achieve higher prices per kg for their harvest.
Make a Direct Contribution
100% of your contribution goes toward farmer support — verification costs, equipment, and platform access for new farmers joining IOCP CERTIFIED.
