Verstegen: Towards a future of sustainable spices
On their journey towards true sustainability, Verstegen initially committed to full transparency for their nutmeg supply chain, using Fairfoods platform Trace. By now, they took it a step further, tackling new spices in Indonesia. This is where social sustainability starts.
The vision
Indonesia is the scene for a partnership between Verstegen Spices & Sauces and Fairfood. To Verstegen, it’s also the testing ground, preparing to scale up to other countries and commodities. Our solutions go from traceability, to agroforestry and improving farmers’ livelihoods. This video tells the story of their transparancy journey.

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.
