Your business can make a real contribution to poverty reduction in Africa.
When you source processed products from African companies
you help build livelihoods for many families.

VAA exists to research and raise awareness of how African producers can move up the value-chain, and to help Irish businesses trade ethically. This we do so African producers can sustain a livelihood for themselves and their families and so exit poverty. We research and select companies whose operations contribute most to the local community. Some buy from hundreds of farmers. Others employ women managers. All help reduce poverty. |
 |
We can research and source high quality ethically produced products to meet your requirements.
 |
By sourcing directly from the producer your business can be more competitive while acting with greater corporate social responsibility. We select quality products from Africa that are of the high standards your customers expect. |
