By sponsoring a farmer, you are covering the costs to help educate the farmer on world standards of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), seeds, tools, rehabilitate or plant a new crop, maintenance costs for three years, costs incurred during harvest, and also transportation of the harvest to the trade center. Additionally, a portion will go towards the cost of having a regional agronomist to provide ongoing oversight through crop health checks to prevent and proactively identity pests/diseases that could negatively impact crop health. Additionally, this covers the farmer's cost to be a part of an overall cooperative for the agricultural offering they will be growing.
