Who’s Behind Our Mangoes and Cashews?

Join us for a virtual session with our colleagues at Gebana to learn about their work to empower small-scale farmers in Burkina Faso

Live Zoom Event
Tuesday, September 23

12:00pm Eastern | 11:00am Central | 9:00am Pacific

Gebana is one of the largest alternative traders in the world and an important ally to Equal Exchange. In this webinar, we will hear from several members of the Gebana team as we learn more about their unique organizational structure and approach to alternative trade.

We will also hear about their latest initiatives to create positive direct impacts for mango and cashew producers in Burkina Faso, like building a new processing factory, and their continued work to develop a strong market presence in the US and Europe with the help of alternative traders like Equal Exchange.

Gebana has built a cooperative supply chain in commodities that rarely acknowledge the people behind the crops, much less what it takes to bring mangoes and cashews from the tree to a grocery store near you. Join us to learn more about Gebana’s work and vital contributions to a more just and sustainable global food system.
