Company history/background
We make delicious organic energy bars based on dried rejected bananas. We have been winning people over wherever we go as a new alternative to cereal, nut, and date-based bars. Bananas are a natural energy booster, along with nuts, seeds, cacao and superfood, it makes for a perfect snack on the go in between meals and an ideal energy bar for before or after sport.
We are on a mission to make healthy and pleasurable snacking experiences the norm and make banana farming 100% free from social and environmental abuse. We made sure to use only organic ingredients. We source our dried organic bananas from Ecuador, where supporting the growth of the organic banana plantations is our way to fight against the industry norm of using highly poisonous and carcinogenic pesticides. We use only rejected bananas not suitable for the export market and commit 1% of our total revenue to support the farmers in Ecuador we work with.
The total of our sales last year was 50.500 EUR.
Company activities
We use a transaction-based business model. Our customers are both B2B companies such as wholesalers, retailers, E-commerce websites, catering companies, and direct customers that we reach through our online sales channels (margins are between 34-50%).
In 2022 we got wholesaler partners in The Netherlands, Germany and Finland. We got listed at Odin, Kesko, Ruohonjuuri, LPg Biomarkt, Amazon, Bol.com, ect..
Unique selling points
