The Swiss food giant has enrolled 11,000 farming households in top grower Ivory Coast in a program that pays a bonus of up to €500 ($535) a year to families which fulfill obligations such as putting their children in school and adopting high-quality pruning. While it covers just a fraction of Ivorian farms, Nestle plans to roll it out further, including in neighboring Ghana.
