Question 6

How does Plumbee work with women in its supply chain?

Accepted Answer

Plumbee works with women farmers and women-led groups through a local sourcing and micro-processing model. Instead of moving all value to the factory, we support women to participate in early-stage processing such as cleaning, sorting, slicing, drying, and preparing selected ingredients closer to where they are grown.

Where possible, we use solar drying and community-based micro-processing hubs to create income opportunities, and keep more value within local farming communities.
