Sowing Seeds of Change - Blue Frog
We created Blue Frog, a fair trade enterprise to directly connect farmers to consumers to improve their returns from farming.
We sell pepper, turmeric, and coconut oil to consumers across Bangalore. We hope to use the grant to make farmers self-reliant by selling their produce through Blue Frog for better returns. Our plan involves starting a subscription service, hosting training workshops, and distributing starter kits. We will collaborate with like-minded peers to buy produce from local farmers and sell it in more residential communities, thereby providing farmers with a stable income. Training workshops hosted by student volunteers in farming communities will teach farmers and their children to brand, market, and sell produce without relying on intermediaries. Finally, a customizable starter kit containing custom labels and packaging will help farmers add value, market, and promote their products, increasing their returns. We aim to transform the lives of 80+ farmers by June 2024 and positively impact farming communities. A stable and guaranteed income means more money for farmers to invest in their children's education and community development. We believe farmers should not remain faceless; Fairtrade gives them an identity!
