Treaty &nbsp;in Cu Mgar district with 17 communes and communes. Total area 62,193 ha: includes 11,740 ha of forestry and 45,526 ha of productive land (82.9% of which is coffee (37726 ha), 10.5% - pepper (4800ha) and 6.6% - fruit goods (3000ha) &nbsp;and &nbsp;36,000 households. There are many companies related to JDE, Simexco, Sucden coffee, Dak Man, Intimex BMT, NedSpice, some cooperatives and farmers.&nbsp;

This PPI compact pilots for a Robusta coffee based jurisdiction (coffee accounts for 94.3% of agri land), sourced by a number coffee buyers (such as ACOM, LDC...) and faced with issues of soil degradation, water overuse and bad farming practices to implement Green Growth targets. This project integrates SDM approach (from Coffee Program) into the PPI compact to introduce a new model for service delivery of high-quality inputs at large scale. This is the first time we engage small traders into the project as key partners to improve efficiency of farmers’ input support and thrives towards transparent supply chain. This project pilots the innovative learnings among farmers to improve adoption rate of sustainable farming practices to ensure that both farmers within and without supply chains of companies get access to knowledge and investment opportunities for improved PPI compact. is to outline a shared vision for a sustainable coffee landscape based on green growth and sustainability for Di Linh District, Lam Dong province.

This project introduces a PPI compact at district level via the first pilot at part of Ea Tan, Ea Toh and Dlie Ya communes of 5,200 ha. This region is selected because of its special features. This PPI compact is not demarcated by administrative borders, but by the sourcing border of company. Coffee from this whole area of 5,200 ha is sourced by a single local coffee company of Simexco via cooperatives and small traders. This area has about 30% of ethnic minorities, with very high poverty rate of 10%. This area is facing a number of issues including: (i) highest chemical input use in Dak Lak province (70% of farms overuse of chemical fertilizer higher than recommended, 60% of farms overuse of pesticide, including the use of banned pesticide according to the market requirements); (ii) water issues: 17% of farms having no access to water source and 100% of farms using 30% of water volume higher than recommended, which lead to the loss of productivity by up to 30% in dry year of 2016 adn 2019.

Lac Duong is a district located in Lam Dong, one of the richest forest resource areas in the Central Highland region, with 85% forest coverage and high forest reserve and biodiversity. The total area of Lac Duong is 131,394 ha, of which the forestry area accounts for the majority with 113.936 ha and the agricultural area is 11,374 ha. The area of coffee, vegetables and flowers is 4,208 ha, 3,450 and 1, 127 ha, respectively, while the rest is used for other agricultural products such as rice and fruits.

 
This five year project aims to support Lac Duong district in&nbsp; developing a deforestation-free sustainable landscape through strengthening&nbsp; the&nbsp; PPI compact in the whole district of Lac Duong based on green growth and sustainability.
