The family business continues to uphold its vision and now works with seven washing stations, placing education, women's empowerment, and quality at the heart of its mission.
Process: Natural (sun-dried on raised beds for an explosion of fruit flavors).

Social: 70% of women producers supported by microfinance programs and scholarships for young girls.
Regenerative agriculture: distribution of animals to fertilize the soil, training in sustainable techniques.
