Maï Savanh Lao’s project: A single product for everybody’s well-being

Poverty and malnutrition

are still a major problem in Laos, particularly for the populations of mountainous and isolated regions.

The propagation of Sacha Inchi plantation

among these needy populations will help allowing them to enrich their nutrition and improve their situation through the nutritional and commercial value of the Sacha Inchi seeds.

Maï Savanh Lao develops Fair Trade partnerships

with these villagers by bringing them technical and financial aid aimed at creating a network of dynamic producers.

For us, fair trade is a daily work ethic

Our way of operating means that our employees are guaranteed a fair salary and safe and healthy working conditions. Finally, our vision of sustainable development is highly influenced by our respect for the environment, which is why Maï Savanh Lao practices organic and rational agriculture.
