FARMERS LACK ACCESS TO MARKETS AND ESSENTIAL SERVICES SUCH AS CREDIT AND AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION, AND EARN LOW RETURNS FROM THEIR PRINCIPAL LIVELIHOOD ACTIVITY OF COFFEE FARMING. ON THE AGGREGATE THIS RESULTS IN INDONESIA CHRONICALLY UNDERPERFORMING AS A COFFEE-PRODUCING COUNTRY, WITH COFFEE YIELDS UP TO ONE-FOURTH THE LEVELS IN NEARBY VIETNAM, AND IN A CYCLE OF UNDERDEVELOPMENT AMONG UP TO 800,000 SMALLHOLDER FARMING HOUSEHOLDS. IN 2021, WE CONTINUED EFFORTS WITH MULTIPLE PARTIES TO IMPROVE FARMING PRACTICES, INCREASE COFFEE YIELDS, IMPROVE NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT, REDUCE CLIMATE CHANGE VULNERABILITY, AND IMPROVE ECONOMIC RETURNS AMONG INDONESIAN COFFEE FARMING FAMILIES, AND CONTINUED ACTIVITIES TO ADDRESS GENDER INEQUALITY AND ENCOURAGE STRATEGIC DIALOGUE AMONG IMPORTANT LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL STAKEHOLDERS. WE HAVE STARTED A THREE-YEAR INTERVENTION SUPPORTED WITH PEET'S COFFEE IN NORTH SUMATRA, PROVIDING TRAINING TO 3,000 FARMERS IN GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES, INTEGRATED PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT, SAFE AND RATIONAL USE OF AGROCHEMICALS AND LABOR LAW.HONDURAS: THE PEET'S PROJECT "STRENGTHENING THE CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF COFFEE FAMILIES THROUGH YOUTH ENGAGEMENT" BUILDS ON THE SUCCESS AND EXPERIENCES OF THE PREVIOUS PEETS PROJECT IN HONDURAS AND SHALL SCALE THIS IMPACT EVEN FURTHER. THE 24-MONTH PROJECT PROVIDES CONTINUED FOLLOW-UP TO YOUTH IN THE PILOT PROGRAM, AS WELL AS INCORPORATE BEST PRACTICES AND LESSONS LEARNED TO EXPAND THIS OUTREACH TO AN ADDITIONAL 25 YOUTH IN ANOTHER 2ND-TIER FARMER ORGANIZATION (UNIOCASMO). INTEGRATING THIS DEVELOPMENT ACROSS FARMING COMMUNITIES, A TOTAL OF 500 FARMING FAMILIES WILL DIRECTLY BENEFIT FROM PROJECT ACTIVITIES.CENTRAL AMERICA: THE STARBUCKS PROJECT AIMS TO CLOSE THE GENDER GAP IN RURAL COMMUNITIES AND INCREASE THE RESILIENCY OF COFFEE FARMING FAMILIES (DIRECTLY BENEFITING AT LEAST 1,750 FARMING FAMILIES, 900 OF WHOM ARE WOMEN AND FEMALE YOUTH) BY ENHANCING GENDER EQUALITY AND EMPOWERMENT OF WOMEN AND FEMALE YOUTH IN KEY COFFEE-GROWING REGIONS THROUGH ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL GROWTH AND IMPROVED HEALTH OUTCOMES. THIS IS ACHIEVED THROUGH A TWO-STAGE APPROACH: 1) INCLUSIVE FARMING FAMILY BUSINESSES AND HEALTHY HOMES AND 2) INCLUSIVE CLIMATE-SMART REGION DEVELOPMENT. ACTIVITIES INCLUDE ESTABLISHING IMPROVED COOKSTOVES, IMPLEMENTING DIVERSIFICATION PLOTS, SUPPORTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIPS (PARTICULARLY WITH WOMEN AND YOUTH), AND ADVANCING WASH ACTIONS IN THE REGION. THE TOPIC OF GENDER IS ADDRESSED THROUGH LEADERSHIP AND MASCULINITY TRAINING AND THE CREATION OF INCLUSIVE ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGIES, AMONG OTHERS. INCLUSIVE REVOLVING FUNDS ARE ALSO IMPLEMENTED TO INCREASE ACCESS TO FINANCE. 794877 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 NY X X JENS SORGENFREI 5122245006 C/O PRAGER METIS 14 PENN PLAZA STE NEW YOK NY 10122 MICHAEL R NEUMANN CHAIRMAN 5.00 5.00 X X 0 0 0 JENS SORGENFREI DIRECTOR 5.00 35.00 X 0 280000 0 MICHAEL OPITZ DIRECTOR 5.00 35.00 X 0 204000 0 0 484000 0 0 0 1 0 0 137359 710925 848284 4373 4373 852657 0 0 4373 732046 732046 36900 25092 11808 1107 753 354 421 286 135 3144 2138 1006 46260 31457 14803 164 164 PAYROLL PROCESSING FEE 2366 1609 757 OTHER EXPENSES 2200 1496 704 824608 794877 29731 0 504102 711604 991 504102 712595 33111 39161 217681 392075 250792 431236 X -41975 6546 295285 274813 253310 281359 504102 712595 28049 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 662549 488727 826166 884417 848284 3710143 662549 488727 826166 884417 848284 3710143 2953220 756923 3705 550 4373 8628 3749 697 4446 3723217 0.20330 0.24630 X HANNS R.
