Rural Development
Nestlé’s approach to rural development aims at ensuring thriving farmers and communities while respecting natural capital.
Nestlé has been a partner in India’s growth since 1912, establishing a special relationship of trust and commitment with its people.
Nestlé recognises the important role played by women in dairy farming as the primary caretaker of cattle.
Our relationships are based on the understanding that our investments must result in long term sustainable growth and economic and social progress for the community as well.
As demand for NESCAFÉ soluble coffee grows in the country, we have already begun training our coffee farmers to develop their agricultural practices in terms of quality, productivity and sustainability.
About 100 sanitation facilities have been built by Nestlé, benefitting over36,000 girl students.
