  • Gender Equity

    In Southeast Asia's agricultural sector, gender equity remains a pressing issue. With over 100 million farmers in the region, a significant portion of whom are women, the exact statistics on female farmers are often elusive, underscoring the profound inequities within the industry.

    Through a year of farm visits, the Drink Folks team observed firsthand the pivotal role women play in tending the land, harvesting crops, and serving as the heartbeat of their households. Despite their essential contributions, female-owned farms often face challenges such as limited negotiating power with middlemen and unfair pricing practices - leaving little to no room for growing their businesses or investing in the growth of their children.

Are you a non-profit or female farmer? Let us help you drive impact.

We want to hear from you.
