GAIA, a company of Graulhet in Midi-pyrénées  (France) works with a non-governmental organisation (NGO), “ l'Orange Bleue Afrique”, and with rural organizations in Burkina Faso and soon in Togo, to promote the production in Africa and the marketing in Europe of an exceptional African cereal: the organic fonio! 

The exportation chain makes it possible to generate funds to support the development of the fonio chain in Africa, with the African Institute of Fonio, and many other actions to allow people to recognize this forgotten ancestral cereal as an asset for food safety in Africa.

   

Our friend Fatma Fall describes the organic fonio !
 
 

Gaia organic Fonio is originally from Burkina Faso, typically from the Kossi province producers’ organization. The transformation unit “Gaia Bio Solidaire” is in Nouna. The paid price to producers is 10 to 25% superior to the average conventional price. The product is controlled in conformity with the schedule of conditions ESR by ECOCERT SA. This schedule of conditions tends to limit the number of intermediaries to allow a fair and transparent incomes distribution along the chain. This requires strict social and environmental criteria available on www.ecocert.com    

The average share of selling price which is allocated to the various operators is: producers: 9, 6% - transformation unit: 30%, the costs of transport: 14, 34%, other costs: 56, 21%
