Financial and economic empowerment is a never-ending battle for local producers, especially those located in rural, remote areas in Indonesia. Their capacity to develop and prosper is often hindered by limited access to markets, resources, and finance. Consequently, they might find it difficult to compete with larger, more established companies, resulting in lower income and unstable employment. Additionally, without proper assistance, local producers often struggle to continue with sustainable and ethical business practices, putting both their livelihoods and the environment at risk.
Supporting those who prioritize sustainability and ethical sourcing practices is crucial for several reasons. It helps promote and preserve cultural diversity by ensuring the survival of traditional trades and skills. By supporting these local producers, we help maintain livelihoods, support economic resilience, and foster a sense of community pride. Moreover, empowering small-scale producers strengthens local economies by circulating money within the community, creating job opportunities, and empowering local businesses and services. This promotes social cohesiveness and communal well-being in addition to economic success.
