Unilever’s processing factory committed to buying all production supplied by the co-operatives meeting Unilever’s quality standards, at a price agreed annually, based on the market price, before the crop is planted. Contracting farmers reach bean yields of 1 to 2 tonnes per ha while untrained farmers typically reach 0.7 tonnes per ha. In 2010, the programme involved the participation of some 7 000 smallholders, who grew approximately 30% of the black soy beans used to produce Unilever’s Bango brand, and farmers’ incomes had increased by approximately 10-15% since 2000 (OECD, 2012).
