Introduction
Lobodis started working with Tutunze Kahawa Limited (TKL) in September 2015 with
the Punga group. The group is approximately 31km from Mbinga town. In 2016 the
project expanded its scope by recruiting the Kilindi group, which shared many of Punga
initial criteria. The Lobodis project has become well known in the Mbinga district and the
Kilindi group was excited to be involved. Kilindi is 55km away from Mbinga town.
The main objective of this project is to establish a coffee supply chain that benefits coffee
producers. There are many global certification standards that share this objective; however
in the pursuit of a “global solution” Lobodis saw that global certifications could be out of
touch with the local situation. The Lobodis project therefore aims for a different approach:
Instead of focusing on global systems the project aims to analyse the local situation and
address the challenges faced by coffee farmers to further develop their current status
This is the group located at Luhangarasi-Village under Nyasa district. The current baseline
is 276 farmers (226 male and 50 female); the total number of trees is 330,991 with an
average age of 19 years. The farmers cultivate roughly 1500 trees each, with the total area

The Progress of Stumping current 200 farmers they have succeeded stumping 10,000
trees( 50 per farmers 2015/2016) in the coming seasons farmers are expecting to stump
13,800 trees (276 farmers) that will be effectively done in October/November 2017.
Training has been done on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) topics and currently we
are proceeding with other remain training as per coffee calendar (Environmental
Agro inputs are being provided. The NPK fertiliser has been selected following the soil
analysis. Pesticides and Herbicides are available as well. The funds from the tree
stumping have been used to source these inputs. The group decided that they would
rather set aside these funds for this uses rather than receiving cash in hand.
Soil Moisture reading will be executed in September 2017 to measure the impact of
shade tree. Current the moisture content in the soil is too high (20%) indicating the

This is the group located at Kipapa Village under the district of Mbinga. The current
baseline is 245 farmers (197 male and 48 female); the total number of trees is 220,700
with an average age of 16 years. Farmers are cultivating roughly 900 trees each. This
group is entering to the project for the first time which means the implementation of the

Soil sampling will be tested to understand the soil PH and Nutrient composition. 25
samples will be tested and the result will be shared with the farmers to give them
advice on which fertilizer is appropriate to them, the activity was effective from May
2017 where samples was collected and send to Yara Company (Soil test Laboratory)
which we expect the result back in September 2017 so that we can go back to farmers
Farmers have started acting on stumping. 74 out of 245 farmers have stumped 3700
coffee trees during February and March 2017. The remaining 171 farmers are

Carrying on GAPs training
Integrating them into inputs scheme hence adding value of their produce
Organizing meeting with farmers and discuss on the contribution that every
member should contribute at least 5000/tsh during the high season as part of self-
saving and farmers showed their interest to effectively contributes early in the
beginning of coffee season.
Making follow up and monitor the progress of the project
