Building a traceable sacha inchi value chain through responsible cultivation, standardized processing, collaborative research, and partnerships that create added value for farmers.
Product quality begins well before processing: with the plant, cultivation conditions, harvest handling, raw-material selection, and documented origin.
A clear, adaptable sequence for documenting the movement of materials from cultivation to research or processing.
Support is designed to help farmers and partner groups understand the plant, follow cultivation guidance, document harvests, and access raw-material development programmes as they become available.
When supporting records are available, raw-material traceability can include the farmer or group identity, general garden location, harvest timing, material condition, raw-material batch, processing stage, and use in research or products.
Farmers are development partners and an important part of raw-material quality and innovation.
Research quality and product development depend on the quality and consistency of agricultural raw materials.
The program connects farmers and farmer groups with cultivation assistance, harvest and post-harvest standards, origin records, quality testing, and access to research and industry. Farm, harvest-batch, volume, and acceptance data are being developed progressively so that impact claims can be verified.
1. Select seed source and location. 2. Prepare land and trellising. 3. Record planting and crop maintenance. 4. Apply responsible pest management. 5. Harvest at defined maturity. 6. Conduct hygienic drying, sorting, and shelling. 7. Store seeds with moisture, pest, light, and temperature controls. 8. Assign batches, sample, test, and release materials against specifications.
We welcome dialogue with farmer groups, local governments, researchers, MSME facilitators, industry, and CSR partners for measurable cultivation and downstream development. Partnerships begin with verification of needs, location, technical readiness, data governance, and a realistic offtake plan.
Collaborative planting activities support cultivation assistance, field learning, and the strengthening of responsible agricultural practices.
Field visits bring together academics, farm managers, and partners to review crop conditions and align cultivation, research, and downstream development needs.
A multidisciplinary field team supports farm mapping, assistance, documentation, and development of the Sacha Inchi value chain from cultivation to innovation.
The Teaching Industry of the Cosmetic Engineering Study Program, Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Padjadjaran strengthens links among agricultural raw materials, education, formulation research, and product innovation.
