Abstract: This study examines the black soybean farmers development programme created by Unilever Indonesia (UI). These programmes was developed in collaboration with several stakeholders made up of scientists/university staff, non-government organisations (NGOs), financial institution, farmers, wives of farmers and cooperative. The programme basically aims to set up local black soybean production centres to assure a continuous supply of the main ingredients of Bango soy sauce, a flagship product of UI with a quantity, quality and price in accordance to the company's standards. This interpretive research study follows a post-positivist paradigm. Data were collected by conducting in-depth interviews of all the partners involved in the programme. Result of the study shows that the multi-stakeholder partnership created by Unilever was capable of creating positive economic value to all the partners and, at the same time, improving the quality of life of the farmers.
