Well done CS'rs everywhere, thanks to FairCrack we have just organised delivery of a pile of equipment for the small holder farmers on Tanna Island, Vanuatu.
Rex on the island has identified a need for distributed processing equipment for the locals who are scattered across a large area. Currently they need to haul picked coffee cherry to the village for processing which can result if a lot of effort for very little return.
FairCrack is purchasing small hand pulping machines for processing, shade cloth and black plastic to make drying beds and hand sewing machines to seal bags.
35 x Hand Pulpers
4 x Hand Sewing Machines
60 x Black Poly Rolls (50m x 4m)
20 x Shade Cloth Rolls (50m x 2m)
All this gear has been purchased and will ship for Vanuatu within the next month. If we can get some pictures back from the island after they take delivery I'll post them up here.
This equipment will ensure that even the smallest coffee farming families on Tanna can create their own processing stations and mill the cherry earlier, faster, and better than they can currently.
Next years crop should be even better for our near island neighbours!
