In 2017, we transformed from a traditional Belgian development NGO into an international network organisation.
Rikolto in Southeast Asia has two country offices, including Rikolto in Vietnam based in Hanoi, Vietnam and Rikolto in Indonesia based in Denpasar, Indonesia.
Rikolto is the Esperanto word for ‘harvest’. We want farmers to have a brilliant harvest, and we want to especially harvest great new ideas and solutions to improve our food systems.

Lasting change can only be built together, and we are grateful for the loyal support of our donors and partners.
