Varacco ensures that farmers are given the leverage to decide for their farms through the data provided by the Internet of Things, enabling them to become farmer-scientists

In 2015, Aries Asilo, president of Varacco and ThinnkFarm, learned from his mentor, the late Dr. Ernie Gonzales, about the Cultural, Natural, and Economic theory. This concept highlighted how the Filipino quality of life was once deeply rooted in cultural and natural aspects before World War II, with a shift towards economic dependence afterward due to industrialization and population growth.

Varacco’s value chain begins at the nursery and ends with the consumer, exploring how diversity, equity, and inclusion play critical roles. For diversity, Varacco and ThinnkFarm aim to build a diverse workforce while sourcing from various origins. Their COFFEE program trains farmer-scientists to adopt nature-positive agricultural practices, like Integrated Pest Management and nano-biofertilizers, despite the higher costs.

Varacco explores how the Internet of Things and big data can promote inclusivity, ensuring that no one is left behind in the coffee value chain. With IoT, they have Analiza Cominguez in Bansalan, Davao Del Sur where her farm size doubled and her confidence increased with new technology. Analiza said, “.”

At every level, from the farm to the national stage, Varacco is revolutionizing the coffee industry with its innovative business model. Partnering with Packetworx, Varacco is leading efforts to improve coffee productivity and quality in the Philippines by creating an interconnected IoT network that helps over 200,000 smallholder farmers make climate-smart decisions.

My two favorite books on business, and they are not about businessJUNE 3 was the centenary of the death of my favorite classic writer Franz Kafka. This column is about the two books (actually, one is a novel; the other, a play) that, while not about business, are the ones that I now look back on and had the most profound lessons about business (and many other things) for me.
