Synopsis (short abstract) In the aftermath of the devastating Cyclone Pam in 2015, the Government of Vanuatu intensified its support to the fruit and vegetable sector. Pineapple was identified as being particularly resilient to severe weather and as having excellent production and market potential. However, the lack of knowledge among farmers and agribusinesses on how to grow sustainably and profitably and how to add value to pineapples made it necessary to strengthen capacity in the sector. The project targeted both the public and private sectors, with a view to helping farmers to produce and sell fresh and processed pineapple products on Vanuatu’s domestic market.

    Also available in:
    The FAO technical guide, “Responsible business conduct in the pineapple industry: a guide for producers and exporters”, was developed to support export-oriented businesses to mainstream sustainability and resilience in their operations, via the implementation of risk-based due diligence processes. To make this content accessible to producers, associations working with small growers, and other businesses, the Responsible Fruits Project has developed a comprehensive learning module. This module includes a training guide, a slide deck, and a workplan with a script for trainers. It is designed to build capacity for understanding and applying responsible business conduct in the pineapple industry, particularly in identifying and prioritizing risks. This learning guide and supporting materials will be valuable tools for trainers and businesses in the pineapple industry as they work to meet growing demands for sustainability and transparency from international markets. The development of these learning materials was possible thanks to the support of the Government of Germany.
