- Coffee companies. SNV has signed Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with small and medium-sized coffee companies who are typically working in the ‘high value’ market segments, processing and roasting, selling the majority of their coffee domestically – B2B and / or B2C. In return for their commitments to buying deforestation-free coffee and working inclusively with farmers, the project agrees to support them with activities including capacity building marketing their produce.
- Community enterprises (non-coffee). The project includes an “off-forest livelihood investment fund” (OFLIF), the objective of which is to support small-scale entrepreneurs and the local farmer groups, especially young businesses and women-lead businesses to invest in employment generating activities that can sustainably enhance the income of local people. These investments increase resilience of the local people by diversifying their income sources, reduce their vulnerability to future economic, climatic, or other shocks and trends. A selection procedure based on impact, feasibility, sustainability, potential to mobilise additional investment and involvement of women was conducted. In total 10 enterprises have been selected and full list in Annex A.
- Farmer groups. The project supports the establishment and operations of farmer groups in the area with the purpose of professionalising coffee production and processing to fulfil market and consumer demand. In total 15 coffee farmer groups and one cooperative have been established. The project has also supported the development of these farmer groups in capacity building, farm management and equipment to improve productivity and quality, thereby increase income of farmer households.
- Lac Duong District People’s Committee (DPC). The Lac Duong DPC has been very active in implementing digital government and provided very strong support for agribusinesses and development projects on development and promotion of value chains such as deforestation-free coffee chains, artichoke and one commune one product (OCOP). It is expected that the digital marketing products for the Lang Biang area from this assignment will be managed and owned by the Lac Duong DPC.
- Develop digital content and digital platforms (including social media and website) for general promotion of Lang Biang coffee and other products from the Lang Biang landscape. This is expected to include:
- visual story-telling through development of catalogue of pictures and short videos)
- building and maintaining (until October 2021) a website for Lang Biang coffee, to be integrated and managed by Lac Duong DPC via lacduong.lamdong.gov.vn (featuring content on Lang Biang coffee but other special products from this region, for example persimmon, artichoke and products from off-farm livelihood activities - herbal shampoo, traditional weaving product, agro-eco tourism, etc.) and transfer ownership and maintenance to DPC staff. The precise content and requirements for this task will be provided during inception phase after the consultant service is selected.
- Provide bespoke 1:1 advisory and coaching services on marketing strategy and activity to four partner coffee companies and stakeholders to increase knowledge and skills of their marketing team. This is expected to include 06 monthly meetings (in person or remote as appropriate) with each company to provide advice and support them on marketing. Our partner coffee companies include one medium-sized company (Tam Trinh) and three smaller companies (K’Ho coffee, The Married Beans and Chappi Mountain Coffee). It is expected that this activity would result in the increased recognition of high quality arabica coffee grown in and produced from the region, and improved marketing strategy and skills of the companies and their marketing teams, thereby increasing the sales of coffee for these companies. A total of 40 consultancy working days are estimated for this task.
- Provide basic training on marketing to the non-coffee enterprises and coffee farmer groups. This is expected to include 02 workshop (1 day) and follow-up activities conducted in Lac Duong or Da Lat targeting these small, and often newly established, enterprises. The workshops will support the enterprises to develop simple marketing strategies, and to prioritise and implement suitable marking activities given their product, target audiences and available resources. It is expected that the first workshop will be more introductory, and the second will focus on specific needs of the audience depending on assessment by the consultant during the project implementation. The firm/organisation will be expected to:
