Taking farmers back to school

We trained 80 farmers over three days in the middle of the Tanzanian forests to help them become experts at adding value to cinnamon, one of the local treasures. We worked with a master trainer from Sri Lanka who was surprised by the fast progress farmers made in a short time. Sri Lankan producers, who have worked with cinnamon for 2,000 years, took only three months to perfect cinnamon quill-making for the farmers.
