Volunteer abroad - Business

We want to process local fruits in various products (jam, liquor, etc.) for the tourist market, a market not directly accessible for local farmers. By processing the local farmers’ fruit, we are not a direct competitor for this farmer. Fruit is purchased directly from this local farmer at market price, meaning he also receives a fair price for his fruits. Our team members have never received any business training. You as a volunteer need to motivate, train and guide the local team to ensure production and sales. Your tasks include assisting the production process, the development of new fruit products and, of course, sales and marketing. For this project, we ask that you have a flexible and a VERY PATIENT attitude. Doing business in Laos is totally different than you are used to, resources are limited.

Minimum time commitment: 3 months.
Project schedule:  runs year-round
