Our moringa and its derived products, marketed by HECOSFAIR, are produced by a Haitian cooperative, COOPAAFA. based in jacmel, in the south-east of the country.
They are carefully produced, without preservatives, colorings or additives, according to the standards of organic farming and are awaiting their certifications.
So, although they meet the current fair trade requirements, they cannot receive the logo and the farmers do not receive any premium.
The COOPAAFA (agricultural-artisanal cooperative of women in action) was founded in 2015 by the Haitian agricultural engineer, Marie-Geoffrin Saint-Louis.
It is a cooperative of women and men who produce, transform and market healthy and rare local organic food products as well as handmade artisan products.
