Nestlé participates in the Public Private Partnership Project, "Promotion of sustainable Robusta Production in Daklak" that trains farmers on efficient irrigation techniques through timing and calibration of the irrigation dose per coffee tree. There are small basins around the trunk of the coffee trees which allow for direct, efficient application of water directly to the tree’s roots system. Furthermore, farmers are encouraged to use chronometers for optimal timing of irrigation phases. From current experience, it is estimated that water savings of more than 60% could be achieved.
