Verstegen: Towards a future of sustainable spices
On their journey towards a world full of sustainable spices, Verstegen committed to a fully transparent story of their nutmeg, using Fairfoods platform Trace. Now, they took it even a step further, tackling new spices in Indonesia. This is where social sustainability starts.
The vision
Indonesia is the main scene where Fairfood and Verstegen are working together, while stepping up the ambitions going from traceable nutmeg to the goal of fair spices. Our solutions go from traceability, to agroforestry and improving farmers’ livelihoods. See more about Verstegen’s (transparency) journey here!

It started with the question: How fair is Verstegens nutmeg? Using Trace, Fairfoods blockchain technology, we answered this question and had the result of a fully transparent product chain of Indonesian nutmeg. Ultimately, this transparency should give the farmer and consumer greater involvement. The farmer strengthens her or his position by gaining new knowledge about the chain, while the consumer gains insight into price agreements and quality claims.
