In his opening remarks, Indonesia’s Ambassador to the UK, Desra Percaya, highlighted inclusivity as a vital part of Indonesia’s sustainability journey: “Inclusivity is key in this transformation journey, which means embracing more diverse narratives of the unheard, like the smallholders, is essential.”

    The nine inspiring Indonesian women smallholders, shared their farms, their stories, and the real impact of global sustainability rules that too often overlook them. The farmers stressed that sustainability regulations in the UK and globally must not overlook smallholders, who form the backbone of supply chains.

   This cross-commodity event brought together Indonesian and UKindustry leaders, policymakers, and advocates to share insights and policies and to explore how Indonesia’ agricultural commodities and forest products contribute to a more sustainable future.
