Coconut palms are often cultivated in industrial style monocultures geared towards efficiency. But plantation economies with the sole focus of maximizing their yield often severely damage fragile ecosystems. There are a few profiteers, but many others are left to deal with the ecological consequences.
KULAU coconut products originate from organic plantations, where their palm trees coexist with other tropical plants in mixed cultivation. Together with our local partners we ensure ecologically and socially sustainable development. This offers the people living in the producing area a perspective and security which we find reflected in the quality of our products.
We maintain enduring relationships with the producers and are dedicated to doing business fairly while upholding the highest ecological and ethical standards.
We are also constantly engaged in inspiring exchanges with research institutes (e.g. the International Coconut Genetic Resources Network), coconut specialists (e.g. Dr. Brice Fife) and various coconut lobbyists, such as the UN-Coconut Agency in Jakarta (APCC) or the Indian Coconut Development Board.
"We hope that through fair trade and environmental awareness we can be a positive influence, especially in fostering organic and sustainable agriculture in the producing countries." – Josefine Staats, Founder of KULAU
