Value chain analysis of a natural ingredient in Indonesia

A European wholesaler of natural ingredient wished to understand a specific value chain in Indonesia. Asper Consulting Ltd. was commissioned to map collection areas, understand how the sector is organised from production to harvesting, to processing and export; actors and number of participants in value chain,  including but not limited to the identification of exporters and/or major collectors, the calendar of harvest, the volumes exported, pain points and the distribution of value within this supply chain. By the end of the study, the company was able to position itself to build a traceable supply chain for the procurement of this natural ingredient and define actions to be taken by the company for improvement of the traceability and sustainability of this supply chain. Asper Consulting Ltd also created a photo bank allowing the company to communicate on the sector.
