Farmer Customers

Farmer Customers are the Lifeblood of RLF.

Generally, they represent the millions of farmers working diligently to produce livelihoods from small farm holdings – whether or not they own or control the land they farm, or the crop they produce. The importance of their role however has brought many RLF Farmer Customers into the global marketplace because they are often the primary producers of high-quality, high-value and high-need crops.

About our Farmer Customers

As Farmer Customers, a number of characteristics may be commonly held:

  • The scale of production is relatively small
  • The plot sizes are also relatively small
  • The crop or commodity they farm may be confined to a single cropping variety, or it may form part of a small range of mixed crops
    and/or activities
  • Resources available to them are generally less than those available to commercial-scale farmers
  • They may be considered in some parts of the world to form part of the informal economy
  • They may be men or women
  • They may depend on family labour but may also hire workers
  • They may lack the protections afforded to commercial-scale farmers and can often be vulnerable in supply chains
