WE ARE CHANGING THE RULES Together we change global trade in favour of family farmers, local communities and the environment. We want more sustainability, more equity and more quality at affordable prices. Therefore, we change the rules of the game: we trade differently, you buy differently. WE only send our fruit when it is ripe. The taste is what counts above all; meaningless standards such as size and colour are of no concern to us. YOU order in advance and wait for the harvest time. That way you get products that are ripe and full of flavour. WE sell large packages that come directly from the country of origin. This is more efficient, reducing not only waste but also food miles. YOU buy large quantities and share the contents of the bulk packs with others. WE take risks and invest where others wont to create jobs through local processing. If profit is made, we share it. YOU can invest in gebana as well. Its risky, but your money will work towards a more sustainable economy. WE are making our expertise available on our crowdfunding platform for use by anyone who shares our vision for fairer trade. YOU support farmers and processors with your order from a crowd project.
