Consultancy Service for Scaling Up Biochar Solutions in Vietnam’s Agri-food Sectors

Under the European Union's SWITCH-Asia programme, HELVETAS is implementing the project “Circular Economy Cocoa: From Bean to Bar,” which aims to develop circular economy solutions within the cocoa and agri-food sectors. This project, which began in 2022, is active in 6-7 cocoa-growing provinces across the Central Highlands and Mekong Delta of Vietnam.

Following the successful demonstration of pyrolysis biochar production within cocoa supply chains (e.g., Marou Chocolate, Puratos) in FY2025, HELVETAS Vietnam seeks qualified consultant(s) to replicate and scale biochar production and application across additional cocoa farms and other agri-food sectors such as coffee, coconut. This initiative will contribute to reducing agricultural waste, enhancing soil health, and promoting low-carbon circular agricultural practices in Vietnam.
