  • Terms of Reference Assignment: Baseline and Market Scoping Study for Coffee, Black Pepper and Turmeric Value Chains in Paderu, Andhra Pradesh
    TERMS OF REFERENCE Terms of Reference Assignment: Baseline and Market Scoping study for coffee, black pepper and turmeric value chains in Paderu, Andhra Pradesh Program: Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) IDH the Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH), is an international not-for-profit organization that convenes companies, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), governments, and other stakeholders in public-private partnerships to accelerate and upscale sustainable trade of several agricultural commodities. IDH drives the joint design, co-funding, and prototyping of new economically viable approaches to realize green & inclusive growth at scale in agricultural commodity sectors and sourcing areas. Through its partnerships, IDH aims to drive sustainability from niche to norm in mainstream markets, delivering an impact on the Sustainable Development Goals. IDH VERIFIED SOURCING AREA (VSA) PROGRAM Due to the rising global demand for responsibly produced agricultural commodities, businesses, and governments in producing regions as well as in consumer markets are increasingly putting sustainability commitments on their agendas. Yet no efficient and inexpensive option currently exists to guarantee the supply of agricultural commodities that fulfill these commitments at scale. The Verified Sourcing Area (VSA) model is a new responsible sourcing mechanism currently being developed by IDH and its partners. The VSA model brings together the producing region, supply chain actors, and committed end buyers. In the producing region, a sustainability improvement deal (Compact) is made between private and public stakeholders at the jurisdictional level, e.g. a municipality, mandal, district, or state. Rather than verifying sustainability farm by farm, the proposed partnership model takes a regional jurisdictional approach, which reduces costs for sustainable agriculture and allows markets to buy large scale volumes with greater efficiency, transparency, and traceability.
