Supply chain and agriculture

"Creating Shared Value" for Nestlé: By engaging closely with the communities that supply Nestlé with agricultural commodities, Nestlé benefits from a more secure supply of better quality raw materials, which result in high quality products, helping to ensure consumer preference and profitable growth for Nestlé brands. Our team of 950 agronomists, together with support workers and contractors, offers support and training assistance to 165,000 farmers in 21 countries.

"Creating Shared Value" for society: Thousands of farmers use Nestlé’s advice and technical assistance to produce greater yields of higher quality crops using fewer resources, which benefits the environment and increases their income. Rural communities also gain from wider employment and economic development opportunities.
