This week, we’ve reached a pivotal moment in our journey towards promoting human-elephant coexistence through alternative cropping. Despite the brutal heatwave and drought conditions, the dedicated farmers of Kuiburi have shown incredible resilience.
Thanks to the much-needed rains, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve sent our first samples of lemongrass to a factory buyer right here in Thailand!
Navigating and accessing viable markets has been one of our toughest challenges, but seeing our efforts come to fruition is truly rewarding. As we move towards the full harvest and wrap up the first year of this groundbreaking study, we promise to keep you posted on every step!
Stay tuned for more updates, and join us in cheering on these amazing farmers!
