Our commitment
At KASANA, our commitments guide our decisions, supply chain by supply chain. Direct partnerships with producers, local added value, a lower environmental footprint and transparency: four simple pillars we stick to every day.
ABOUT KASANA
KASANA is a Belgian brand specialised in importing and distributing organic dried fruits, nuts, seeds and spices.
Founded in 2014 by two childhood friends, Augustin and François-Xavier, KASANA grew out of their first field experience in Uganda. At the time, they launched projects to support local farming, notably through solar drying.
Today, we develop sustainable supply chains worldwide with our producers and local partners. Our mission is to build a transparent, as direct as possible supply chain, from producer to consumer, while reducing our environmental impact through consistent logistics choices.
THE 4 KASANA COMMITMENTS
1. SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAINS & DIRECT PARTNERSHIPS
We build long-term partnerships with our producers and local partners. The goal is to secure reliable outlets, ensure consistent quality, and support continuous improvements over time, rather than working on a one-off basis.
This direct relationship helps us develop stable, coherent supply chains, for local communities as well as for our customers.
2. Added value for local communities
Whenever possible, we prioritise processing close to the source to create more value locally. Drying, sorting, shelling or preparation: these steps create jobs and strengthen local know-how. Depending on the supply chain, this also comes with practical initiatives that support families and villages.
For us, importing should not be limited to moving raw materials. It should help build a supply chain that grows stronger over time.
3. MANAGED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Our approach starts at the source, with organic raw materials, and continues through our logistics choices. Whenever possible, we favour sea freight over air freight, and we plan our supply to avoid fragmented shipments.
The goal is to reduce the footprint linked to production and transport, while staying transparent about what can still be improved.
4. TRANSPARENCY FROM PRODUCER TO YOUR PLATE
We want the origin of our products to be clear and easy to understand. That’s why we highlight our supply chains and partners, and we work towards the most direct traceability possible, from producer to finished product.
This transparency supports both trust and quality. It makes it clear where what you eat comes from, and the conditions in which it was produced.
