Fondée en 2005, la Cooperativa Norandino regroupe plus de 7 000 familles productrices de cacao, de café et de panela du nord du Pérou. Sa mission : améliorer les conditions de vie de ses familles membres en offrant un accès aux marchés locaux et internationaux. Norandino est animée par des valeurs fondamentales de transparence, d’équité, de respect, de responsabilité, de démocratie et de qualité de service. Aujourd’hui, tous ses producteurs sont certifiés Fairtrade et biologiques. Notre relation avec la coopérative a débuté en 2013, grâce à un intérêt commun pour la qualité et la durabilité ; elle n’a cessé de se renforcer depuis. Aujourd’hui, nous nous approvisionnons dans deux régions différentes du Pérou : la Sierra sèche de Piura et la Selva verdoyante et humide de San Martin. Notre partenariat inclut une exclusivité sur le cacao de 3 communautés productrices de la varieté Gran Blanco.
