Our goal
To create product and trade development opportunities for small-scale producers and their families from the African, Asian and Latin American continents on the world market, including the fair trade market and the dynamic organic market.

Clients
Projects or trading relations can be developed by NovoTRADE itself, or NovoTRADE can play a dynamic role in existing projects. For this purpose NovoTRADE seeks to bring together the necessary means and capacity, through co-operation with strategic players in the entire production chain. We work for farmer's groups, traders, industry, distributors, retailers, commercial and non-commercial financiers, and local and international development organisations (NGOs). The role of NovoTRADE will vary according to the activity and the project and the current phase of the activity or project.
