Our track record

NovoTRADE and its founding partner, TWIN, are nowadays mainly geographically focused on Africa and Latin America, due to historical reasons and the accumulated experience of staff. Recently, NovoTRADE has concluded an agreement with Agro Eco, a consultancy specialized in the organic production chain throughout the world.

NovoTRADE's focus is on:

Project and trade development			We co-operate in and stimulate the development of innovative trade relations.
Credit and financing			We offer mediation in finding affordable credit and working capital.
Management support and organisational development			We support organisations of small-scale farmers and entrepreneurs in their work toward solutions to organisational and managerial problems, so they can become reliable, accountable and commercially viable trading partners.

Apart from local market development, most products are exported to Europe and North America. For a number of European companies, financial organisations, NGOs and governments NovoTRADE has carried out project evaluations, feasibility studies and, of course, actual trade development.

NovoTRADE product development is mainly centered on cocoa, coffee, nuts and tropical fruits at present. Investigations in cotton, tropical hardwood and ornamental carpets are foreseen.

Agro Eco is mainly focused on production aspects. TWIN and NovoTRADE are linked to the trade aspects of these commodities and the mainstream marketing and distribution of processed goods through independent fair trade companies. Products include coffee (through Cafédirect Ltd.), chocolate (through Day’s Chocolate Company Ltd.) and tropical fruits (through AgroFair b.v.). These trading activities are accompanied by collateral support activities as mentioned above.
