ICCO Cooperation and Penabulu Foundation are developing a program of “Sustainable Integration for Empowerment of Spices Smallholders” in The Civic Engagement Alliance (CEA) Partnership.

Spice commodities have a long value chain, with the distribution of information about standards that are uneven for all parties in the value chain. Spices as global commodity must implement certain standards, but as domestic commodities, there are no regulations governing quality standards spices.

  2. Develop integrated information system management in spice commodity trading; and
  3. Develop the area model in the selected areas of nutmeg, pepper, cinnamon, and medical herbs.
