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.
