A personal video message to Beyond Meat
FOGA is a company with a mission.
Gum from Africa with sustainable impact.
100% fair: from farmers to you!
The FOGA SMILE concept:
We love our farmers & We love Beyond Meat
We bring smiles on the farmers of our products. Everything is made sustainable. And that matches the way your company creates products.
Our work ethic is to be transparent in everything we do. Our mission is to have impact on the farmers and the environment. In areas were corruption easily can arise, we implemented extra checks, security and reports to keep our fair and transparent ethics.
All our products are harvested from farmers we know.
Farmers are very happy because they get:
- Maximum profit
- New young trees to extend their farms
- Support for community projects like education and hygienic training
Our farmers are based in Darfur and Kurdufan districts in Sudan. We register all our farmers and use a traceability system for all our products. This is audited and confirmed by our Organic EU certification.
We buy from the farmers. Middle-man are not involved in traditional ways. We offer several jobs in our factories and transportation for the community.
