Sustainability

Coffee is loved unanimously around the globe and is being developed into a more highly sustainable commodity thanks to the cooperation and commitment of the world's farmers all the way through to its consumers.

Sustainability

DAKMAN has been working with the farmers for over 15 years maintaining strong support and encouraging long-standing, honest relationships.

Through certification state, science, exporters and farmers are united, open discussion is promoted and knowledge and expertise are combined and shared.

 

Local Communities

The coffee growing communities in Vietnam make up a large proportion of the population. DAKMAN is fully aware of the commitment, importance and responsibility needed to help support and work with these communities.

DAKMAN works on a number of social projects from small to large, independent to group-driven with a universal aim of making a difference in the lives of those we work with. Training courses, field work and interaction with our farmers are all part of DAKMAN's commitment to excellent communication. This transfer of knowledge and improved farming techniques guarantee a higher and more stable income to the farmer.

 

Conservation

DAKMAN is committed to doing everything possible to ensure natural environments are protected and conserved in the best possible way.

DAKMAN supports training groups on good husbandry, first aid, fire safety and GAP (Good Agricultural Practice) to encourage farmers to use safe and responsible methods that benefit both the farm and its surrounding environment.

Farms are visited and surveyed regularly to maintain the comprehensive standards set by the certificate awarding bodies are upheld and to provide the farmers with support and encouragement.
