The root of all our work is the soya bean. So we never forget the importance of the farmers across the world that continue to provide us with the best beans, day in day out.

Instead of chasing the lowest price per kilo, Alpro invests its energy and resources into nurturing long-term relationships with these growers. Over the years, this has led us into an enviable position where we:

• Are in direct contact with the growers, ensuring both greater control over the beans and a better price for the farmers;
• Pay above the market prices that benefit the farmers and ensure we get the best beans;
• Define long-term contracts with the growers, making them less vulnerable to one bad harvest.

Farmers Day – better cooperation through knowledge

Alpro believes that a knowledgeable workforce is a more motivated workforce. The Farmers’ Days in Brazil and Canada enable us to keep direct contacts with the farmers that provide us with our precious raw material. It’s an opportunity to talk to them about our results, our belief in healthier products, our strict ban on GM products and the preservation of the rain forests. It’s also an opportunity for us to meet the farmers and their families, and distribute Alpro soya goodies back to their very source!
