These farmers their families and communities are an important part of our supply chain\u201d said Andreas Fibig our Chairman and CEO. \u201cSustainability is a key enabler of our Vision2020 business strategy and this partnership is the embodiment of one of our key sustainability strategies Sensational People in which we engage our employees and stakeholders to make a positive difference in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the southern regions of Haiti farmers are almost exclusively dependent on vetiver for their income. A crop that is only harvested once every 12 or 18 months the timing of the crop puts enormous economic pressure on the farmers \u2013 often leading them to harvest the roots before full maturity. Even though this practice may address an immediate financial need ultimately it leads to low prices and poor oil yields soil loss and deforestation.<\/p>\n<p>To enhance the livelihoods of the vetiver farmers the Vetiver Together initiative addresses three main areas of need which are food security women\u2019s empowerment and reforestation. Addressing these needs will avoid premature harvest and thereby increase the quality of life of the local farmers. By partnering with Heifer International IFF is working with smallholder farmers within our vetiver supply chain to implement the proven methodology and the unique approach of the Placement of the Animals ceremony.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 30px;\">The \u2018Placement of the Animals\u2019 Ceremony<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-18593 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-1024x487.jpg\" alt=\"animals\" width=\"1024\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-1024x487.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-768x365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-400x190.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss-200x95.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-animalss.jpg 1430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In September of 2016 farmers in Haiti achieved the first milestone with Vetiver Together.<\/p>\n<p>Representatives from IFF Unilever Heifer International and UniKode joined the local community for the first \u2018Placement of the Animals\u2019 ceremony. Goats chickens turkeys and seeds were given to 75 vetiver farmers and their families for breeding to help supplement incomes and to increase food security during lean times as the vetiver root reaches maturity. Beyond tangible resources the Haitian farmers received invaluable training in crop and livestock production (for food and sale) soil conservation and improved nutrition. As part of Heifer\u2019s practice of Passing of the Gift (POG) scheduled for later this year the first female offspring of each livestock along with training and seeds will be passed on to another family in need doubling the impact of the original placement. This cycle will continue with the POG recipients who then pass their offspring on to others in the community.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am more than happy and thank Heifer Unilever and IFF very much for such amazing gifts\u201d said Cidieula Fran\u00e7ois whose family received livestock and seeds after she completed the training sessions. \u201cI promise to take care of the animals to the best of my ability. This is the very first time vetiver farmers are being thought of (by outside groups) &#8211; and not only for what we can offer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>More than a ceremony this event on September 7th was a celebration. Creole music blasted people were excited to get the animals and seeds yes \u2013 but it was more than that. The joy and pride on the faces of all who participated was a sign of good things to come. It even rained &#8211; definitely good luck for a planting community! However after the rain came so did an unforeseeable natural disaster: Hurricane Matthew.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 30px;\">Hurricane Matthew and Relief Efforts<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In October of 2016 one month after the initial Placement of the Animals ceremony the worst storm to hit Haitian soil in over half a century touched down and destroyed the homes of thousands. The strong category 4 winds of Hurricane Matthew knocked over fruit-bearing coconut and mango trees significantly harming Haitian food supply and revenue. However the resilient vetiver crop remained virtually unharmed because the deep roots held firm underground.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the losses caused by the hurricane 62% of the donated livestock survived a rate higher than surrounding areas not covered by the project. According to Heifer this is likely due to improved animal shelters trainings and interventions by community vet agents. Although the hurricane provided a challenge the Vetiver Together team pushed on and continued to expand the program.<\/p>\n<p>In April of 2017 an additional 75 families received animals as well as seeds during the second Placement of the Animals ceremony. Amidst the ruins of the storm animals were given to new families in order to provide resources to a greater percentage of the community- a ray of light in a time of darkness. Additionally the Passing of the Gift ceremony is scheduled for later this year and we hope that this cyclical effort will one day secure the livelihood of all the Haitian farmers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Although the damage caused by Hurricane Matthew is immeasurable Vetiver Together strives to provide a hopeful future for vetiver cultivation and farmers alike.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 30px;\">Together We Create the Future<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_18535\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-18535\" style=\"width: 373px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-kipheifer.jpg\" alt=\"Pierre Ferrari and Kip Cleverley\" width=\"373\" height=\"373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-kipheifer.jpg 373w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-kipheifer-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-kipheifer-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iff.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/vetiver-kipheifer-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 373px) 100vw, 373px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-18535\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Left to right: Pierre Ferrari, President &amp; CEO, Heifer International and Kip Cleverley, VP, Global Sustainability, IFF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cVetiver Together is truly a long-term commitment and social investment partnership\u201d said Kip Cleverley vice president Global Sustainability at IFF. \u201cWe promised to help this community and even though Hurricane Matthew took a toll on the Haitian farming community we continue to aim our efforts toward improving the livelihood of the Haitian people. Now more than ever we can make a positive difference in the world starting with this community. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally Heifer International has pledged to contribute more funds to the project which now has been extended to the end of 2018. The nature of the Passing of the Gift ceremony means that Vetiver Together is much more than a temporary solution. Families will continue to receive livestock and seeds as the resources are passed on to other members of the community while farmers will no longer rely solely on the vetiver harvest for their income.<\/p>\n<p>Because of the contributions made by the Vetiver Together project vetiver crops are scheduled to harvest at the correct time depending on the weather.
