West Kalimantan is one of the most economically disadvantaged provinces in Indonesia and has suffered from one of the highest rates of deforestation and forest conversion. Palm oil is a significant driver of agricultural output in the region but smallholder farmers regularly find themselves in a position of relative weakness due to their limited knowledge of good agricultural practices and lack of access to high-quality inputs. This results in significantly lower yields on the plantations.

Solidaridad Network has been operating in Indonesia since 2012 and is collaborating with local partners to enhance good agricultural practices, improve livelihoods and boost financial literacy among its smallholder farmers. At the same time, Solidaridad is also working towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and prevent further forest and land degradation by supporting the use of efficient, sustainable agricultural practices and thereby improve the livelihoods of the farmers.
