The Value of
Integration

Working integrated with responsible farmers has let us accomplish a business model with a positiva impact on all the satages of the value chain:

  • By switching from Livestock to Agriculture, our plantain suppliers have increased the employment generated and food output per acre by 50X.

  • By allocating 100% of the crops’ production to our process instead of fresh produce exports, we manage to implement more efficient practices that reduce the need for agrochemicals and increase the production of the crops by at least 25%, reducing the environmental footprint of the orchards and significantly increasing the income generated by our plantain producers.

  • By working with fully integrated farmers, we also achieve cleaner (less agrochemicals) and higher quality plantains for our consumers.

  • To round up our pursuit for a greater value, one of the main positive impacts of our business model is its environmental efficiency:

    • 1/3 of environmental footprint of international logistics: no peels or rotten fruits travel across the world.
    • Close to Zero Food Waste: Frozen products avoid food spoilage along the value chain.
    • Circular Economy: plantain peels go back to our orchards instead of a landfill.
