Do you know their impact?
What impresses you most about your cooperative?
We are a small cooperative but very active in social and solidarity economy networks, and international Fair Trade. We also try to be very innovative and adapt to new trends that match our ideals.
When did it start and why?
The cooperative was born in 1992, always with the aim of promoting and making Fair Trade known in our territory. Little by little it has been evolving and currently we are not only importers, but we transform the raw material.
How many people are part of the project?
Currently, we are 15 colleagues and some of these are partners.
What makes it different from other entities / companies like yours?
All our products carry the double certification of ecological and Fair Trade, and we control the entire production chain, from the importation of the raw material to the final consumer.
How does it come in the future?
We are always looking for ways to innovate in our product, we currently have projects that, together with other international entities, promote the locally produced Fair Trade seal. With this idea, we are exploring lines of agri-food products grown in our territory.
What support has it received from Seira Impuls Cooperatiu and what has it been used for?
From Seira we have received a participatory loan to finance the machinery for this new product line, which we have focused on children’s food based on cereals (rice, wheat, buckwheat, among others) grown locally, along with Fair Trade certified cereals (quinoa, rice).
The first products will be porridge, but the idea is to be able to expand in the future. Also, on the part of Seira, we received technical support for the new line, as well as financial support.
