General information

Short Summary

A Colombian family business dedicated to sustainable cocoa cultivation and agro-industrial processing is seeking international partners for the distribution of cocoa products and the development of agro-tourism experiences. It welcomes commercial, investment, and research collaborations focused on origin-certified products and regenerative tourism initiatives.

Full Description

This Colombian company, based in the municipality of Támesis in the southwest of Antioquia, is dedicated to the cultivation of cocoa and the transformation of cocoa-derived products through a rural bioeconomy model. Since 2008, it has built solid capacities in sustainable agriculture, agro-industrial processing, and experiential tourism focused on the cultural heritage of cocoa.

Its entire product portfolio is developed under strict principles of traceability, environmental responsibility, and comprehensive use of agroforestry systems. The company applies regenerative agricultural practices, resource-efficient methods, and clean production processes that contribute to the conservation of local ecosystems.

In addition to its agro-industrial work, the company offers immersive tourism experiences that allow visitors to engage with the entire cocoa production process—from cultivation to artisanal transformation—through an educational and cultural lens. These experiences are designed to connect people with the value of origin, biodiversity, and sustainability.

Over the years, the company has taken part in various business strengthening programs and rural innovation initiatives. It has received regional recognition for its contributions to sustainable entrepreneurship and has consolidated the technical and operational capacities needed to scale its model.

The company is now seeking international cooperation with distributors, specialty retailers, impact-driven investors, tourism platforms, and organizations interested in sustainable agro-industry, regenerative agriculture, or experiential travel. Potential areas of collaboration include:

- Commercial partnerships to expand the market for traceable, high-quality cocoa products;

- Joint development of value-added products for international markets;

- Technical exchange and knowledge-sharing on agroforestry and clean production methods;

- Promotion of cocoa-based tourism experiences through sustainable travel networks.

With its integrated approach and strong community ties, this initiative offers meaningful opportunities to connect conservation, culture, and commerce in a way that benefits both people and the planet.

Advantages and Innovations

This Colombian company integrates agricultural production, agro-industrial processing, and regenerative tourism into a unified model that leverages the ecological and cultural richness of its territory. It employs diversified agroforestry systems that incorporate native species and local biodiversity, enhancing soil health, resilience, and productivity.

By maintaining full control over the value chain—from cultivation to processing to final sale—the company ensures product traceability and compliance with international standards for quality and sustainability. Its agro-industrial line transforms raw agricultural goods into value-added products, while minimizing waste through efficient use of by-products and closed-loop practices.

The tourism component is rooted in hands-on, educational experiences designed around sustainable agriculture, regenerative land management, and rural life. Visitors are invited to engage with farming systems, participate in workshops, and learn directly from local producers, creating deeper connections between consumers and the origin of their food.

This integrated approach offers clear competitive advantages in markets that prioritize transparency, environmental impact, and social value. By combining production, processing, and experiential learning, the company positions itself as a driver of rural development, capable of offering both high-quality products and immersive educational services rooted in sustainability.

Partner Sought

Expected Role of a Partner

In order to consolidate its sustainable growth and strengthen its international presence, the organization seeks to establish strategic alliances with partners who share its core values of sustainability, product traceability, innovation in agro-industrial processes, and the preservation of origin-linked value.

The organization welcomes collaboration with the following types of partners:

International distributors and importers experienced in marketing gourmet, organic, or fair trade agri-food products. These partners should have established distribution channels in high-value consumer markets, such as specialized retailers, ethical trade networks, or the HORECA sector. Their role would focus on facilitating market access, managing logistics, and positioning traceable, high-quality products in aligned commercial environments.

Commercial partners and value chain facilitators with expertise in introducing sustainable, traceable products to international markets, particularly those capable of overseeing logistics and commercial strategies in regions that value transparency and ethical sourcing.

Research institutions, innovation centers, and technology-oriented companies interested in clean production processes, agroforestry systems (including vanilla and associated crops), and the development of value-added products. These partners would engage in co-creation efforts related to sustainable production models and technological innovation.

Tour operators and sustainable travel agencies seeking to incorporate agro-tourism and educational experiences into their offerings. These experiences may include cocoa-based itineraries, cultural exchanges, and immersive learning in rural land stewardship and ancestral knowledge.

Impact investors and financial institutions focused on the bioeconomy, regenerative tourism, or climate-resilient value chains. These entities could support infrastructure development, expansion of clean processing technologies, and the enhancement of technical capacities for rural producers.

In all cases, partners are expected to play a role in one or more of the following areas: enabling international distribution and commercial growth; contributing to research, innovation, and new product development; co-designing tourism packages that promote sustainability and cultural heritage; supporting the adoption of clean technologies; and strengthening local skills and capacities in regenerative agriculture and rural entrepreneurship.

The organization values long-term collaborations based on mutual respect, transparency, and a shared commitment to community development and sustainable transformation. Partners with proven experience in sustainability-oriented ecosystems and a collaborative approach to business are especially encouraged to connect.
