Fairtrade Asia Pacific: Quarter 2, 2017 Report

In Q2, 2017 NAPP covered 151 Producer Organizations through 61 field visits and 77 trainings.

This quarter the number of trainings and visits were lower than originally planned – due to the lack of funds flow into NAPP in the period. A number of planned activities have been pushed to Q3 for completion. 3 new SPOs – one for vegetables, herbs and spices in Thailand; one for rice in Myanmar.
