Philosophy
Agbanga Karité follows three basic principles:
1. Reducing our footprint on earth by harvesting
sustainably, prohibiting the use of chemicals and actions that harm
other species, and using renewable energy sources.
2. Respecting humanity fully by appreciating social
and religious beliefs of our members and customers and paying fair
salaries and real market prices for raw materials.
3. Providing customers with distinctive quality products
and service while preserving indigenous knowledge and resources.
Mission Statement
Agbanga Karité is devoted to providing fine quality
unrefined shea butter, authentic African black soap and tropical
oils to discerning buyers while upholding the principles of fair
trade. We advocate retaining local control of natural resources
and preserving traditional values and production methods.
Vision Statement
Through our commitment to the fair trade principles
of living wages, respect, openness, and environmental stewardship,
Agbanga Karité will set an example for other African organizations
to follow. Our profits will be given back to the community in the
form of educational scholarships and grants to sustainable community
enhancement programs.
