Last year, Mars’ Farmer Income Lab estimated that up to 70% of the smallholder farmers in agri-food supply chains – more than 122 million people – may be living below the global poverty line of $3.20 per day. Mars, like any agri-business, relies on the work of these farmers around the world who produce the ingredients that go into our products, such as cocoa, rice and mint. This is why eradicating poverty in supply chains is a significant challenge that must be urgently addressed.
