Our story
Social business created in 1997. Sambirano Group is divided into 2 distinct entities :
Sambirano S.A
Export of cocoa and vanilla beans
Sambirano S.A exports nearly 17% of local production in Europe and the Indian Ocean zone and supports nearly 1,500 planters.
Sambirano S.A ensures an increase in the cocoa value chain through training, investment in manufacturing processes but also by ensuring a purchase price of raw materials above the local market price.
Sambirano Ingredients
Factory for processing cocoa beans into chocolate bars and mass and extracting cocoa juice.
Sambirano Ingredients contributes to increasing the skills of local operators, increasing the income of growers, creating jobs in the region and increasing its influence in Europe and around the world.
Although for commercial purposes, our objective is to fight against poverty and social inequalities, by ensuring the working conditions of producers, the protection of children, education, respect for women’s rights and even the conditions of life.
The preservation of the forest and soil constitutes a fundamental right and Sambirano S.A pursues a responsible agroforestry policy in concert with local producers and partners.
Sambirano Group remains attentive to the living conditions of planters and contributes 5% of its surplus to social projects.
