Forty schools have been established for children and young adults, providing basic education as well as practical farming skills in an extensive three-year program.
Maternity ward in Ghana
Cargill joined forces with the global charity Mercy Ships to construct a new maternity ward, which serves more than 20 communities in Tema.
Sustainable farming in Vietnam
Cargill is partnering with NGOs to bring improved cocoa farming to Vietnam. We are helping to share best farming practices and develop a quality bean for the international market.
Schooling and seedlings in Indonesia
Cargill has established an elementary school for farmers’ children in Sulawesi that also serves as a technical training institute for the farmers.

Supporting local communities in which we work and live is important to Cargill. That is why we are pleased that Arla Foods has joined our efforts to support a children’s home in Côte d'Ivoire.
