It all begins with a nut.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with Nuts2, a Dutch company committed to providing farmers in Africa with access to the world market, at a fair price! Their mission is to create jobs and contribute to local economic development through their local processing plants in Africa.

Our cashews are organic, fairtrade and 100% processed and packaged at source in Burkina Faso.

The entire manufacturing process is operated within the national borders, reducing hugely the Co2 emissions caused by the shipping to Asia, where 90% of the African cashews are usually shelled, peeled and packed.

In this way, the factory creates more job opportunities there, contributing to the economy by using the nuts as a tool to fight against poverty and social instability in Africa.

Through fair wages for the farmers as well as training programs and a safe workflow in their processing facilities, our supplier supports the expansion of schools and other social institutions on the continent

In 2018, they had 1,540 workers supporting their families through their employment and, as campaigners for women's rights, around 80% of the employees are female.
