West Africa

Close to the producers

West Africa is at the heart of the value chains we serve: cocoa, coffee, cashew, rubber. This is where the value we want to share begins.

A regional ecosystem

Producers, cooperatives, exporters, freight forwarders and processors: we build our network with local players to make operations reliable all the way to destination markets.

Countries covered

Our first anchor is Côte d’Ivoire, with the AWANE cooperative in Daloa. The list of countries covered will grow with our partnerships.
