Currently, .pepper..field is the only company in the world that pays small farmers 100% fair trade price officially set by KPPA – moreover, they always receive this amount directly from us, in full, without any intermediaries. Everything is under our complete control. In this way, we try to change the wage conditions in Cambodia for the better and motivate others as well.

Small farms in Cambodia have had the best know-how in growing pepper since the 13th century. In total, there are about 300 small family farms in Cambodia compared to about five large farms owned by foreigners. Since the project was launched in 2018, we have supported an incredible 200 small families with the purchase of pepper. The goal of .pepper..field is to ensure the long-term and sustainable development of these farmers, from whom we will permanently purchase 100% of their production under fair trade conditions so that their children can take over the family legacy.

Most of these families use the money for farm maintenance, healthcare, school fees and supplies for their children. We are committed to returning a portion of the profits back to Cambodia for education and healthcare projects. We know all the farmers and will always take care of them! During the coronavirus crisis in 2020, we organized the Million for Cambodia food drive.
