Introduction

1.0 Project Overview

Lobodis started working with Tutunze Kahawa Limited (TKL) in September 2015 with

the Punga group. The group is approximately 31km from Mbinga town. In 2016 the

project expanded its scope by recruiting the Kilindi group, which shared many of Punga

initial criteria. The Lobodis project has become well known in the Mbinga district and the

Kilindi group was excited to be involved. Kilindi is 55km away from Mbinga town.

1.1 Project Objective

The main objective of this project is to establish a coffee supply chain that benefits coffee

producers. There are many global certification standards that share this objective; however

in the pursuit of a “global solution” Lobodis saw that global certifications could be out of

touch with the local situation. The Lobodis project therefore aims for a different approach:

Instead of focusing on global systems the project aims to analyse the local situation and

address the challenges faced by coffee farmers to further develop their current status

holistically and sustainably.

1.2 Current status of the Lobodis Project

1.2.1 Lobodis Punga

This is the group located at Luhangarasi-Village under Nyasa district. The current baseline

is 276 farmers (226 male and 50 female); the total number of trees is 330,991 with an

average age of 19 years. The farmers cultivate roughly 1500 trees each, with the total area

under coffee standing at 626 acres.

1.2.1.1Ground Activities under Lobodis Punga

 The Progress of Stumping current 200 farmers they have succeeded stumping 10,000

trees( 50 per farmers 2015/2016) in the coming seasons farmers are expecting to stump

13,800 trees (276 farmers) that will be effectively done in October/November 2017.

 Training has been done on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) topics and currently we

are proceeding with other remain training as per coffee calendar (Environmental

management & Good harvesting and processing).

 Agro inputs are being provided. The NPK fertiliser has been selected following the soil

analysis. Pesticides and Herbicides are available as well. The funds from the tree

stumping have been used to source these inputs. The group decided that they would

rather set aside these funds for this uses rather than receiving cash in hand.

 Soil Moisture reading will be executed in September 2017 to measure the impact of

shade tree. Current the moisture content in the soil is too high (20%) indicating the

water available in the plant.

1.2.2 Lobodis Kilindi

This is the group located at Kipapa Village under the district of Mbinga. The current

baseline is 245 farmers (197 male and 48 female); the total number of trees is 220,700

with an average age of 16 years. Farmers are cultivating roughly 900 trees each. This

group is entering to the project for the first time which means the implementation of the

project will effectively be done in October 2017.

1.2.2.1Ground activities under Lobodis Kilindi

 Like in Punga group training has been done based on GAPs topics and currently we

are proceeding with other remain training as per coffee calendar (Environmental

management & Good harvesting and processing).

5
 Soil sampling will be tested to understand the soil PH and Nutrient composition. 25

samples will be tested and the result will be shared with the farmers to give them

advice on which fertilizer is appropriate to them, the activity was effective from May

2017 where samples was collected and send to Yara Company (Soil test Laboratory)

which we expect the result back in September 2017 so that we can go back to farmers

advising them based on the recommendation made in our training section.

 Farmers have started acting on stumping. 74 out of 245 farmers have stumped 3700

coffee trees during February and March 2017. The remaining 171 farmers are

expected to stump 8550 coffee trees in October/November.

4.0 MONITORING AND EVALUATION


For successful implementation of this project we expect to invest on:

 Developing and implementing Lobodis work plan and periodic field visit based on
the schedule, in every two weeks groups will be visited.
 Interviewing the growers to see how far they are in terms of stumping, Saving and
improvement made based on the soil analysis
 Carrying on GAPs training
 Integrating them into inputs scheme hence adding value of their produce
 Organizing meeting with farmers and discuss on the contribution that every
member should contribute at least 5000/tsh during the high season as part of self-
saving and farmers showed their interest to effectively contributes early in the
beginning of coffee season.
 Making follow up and monitor the progress of the project
(Stumping/Saving/Women and Youth involvement).
 Ensuring TKL deposit into group bank account 400 USD as part of initial saving
as budgeted.
