Why Direct Sourcing?

Direct Sourcing is a business philosophy: we build transparent, optimized and sustainable bridges to help growers export their produce directly.

Our service adds value to agriculture because we help growers:
- save time & sell directly
- improve relationships
- increase their commercial & sourcing network
- reduce risks
- mend the cultural and language gap

Company

Our company was founded in 2018 with a strong focus on exporting organic products from our region, Andalusia, to the rest of Europe.

At present, we have also developed a network of partners for the import of European products into Spain.

And next to our services for the direct sales market, we now also established a stable supply of raw material to industrial processing companies.

Mission

We help our partners to identify and boost their potential, save time and reduce the risks associated to international business. We take sustainability and community welfare into account and promote a network of companies that share our values.

Vision

Our vision is to contribute to reversing climate change by transforming agriculture into a key economic sector that incorporates regenerative, sustainable and circular practices. Promoting population settlement and the development of economic activities in rural areas as essential elements of resilience to the climate crisis.

Values

Our key values are sustainability, transparency, efficiency, innovation, communication.

Environment

We plant trees in order to reduce the CO2 footprint of the export services. For every full truck load that crosses a border, we plant a TREE.

Over the past years, we have supported the plantation of trees and the conservation of the by forest fires affected protected natural area ‘Valle De Iruelas’. During 2023 we also supported the Navalacruz reforestation project. Both in Ávila, next projects are planned to be located in Andalucia, our main sourcing region. To this day we have offset more than 100 tonnes of CO2.

In addition we contribute through:

Logistics – intensive use of geographical matrices in order to reduce petrol consumption and CO2 emissions.
Our commitment extends to our office practices:
– digitalization: More digital means almost no use of paper.
– Organic loose traditional filtered coffee
– No use of “1-single use” recipients.

We help achieving and promoting the 2030 Agenda and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
