Our Approach

Gain deeper insights into your product, align with market demands, target the right audiences and succeed.   

We mainly work with processed foods and natural ingredients

ProFound partners with suppliers of natural ingredients from emerging markets. We have a particular interest in non-commodity ingredients and those originating from wild collection because they have the potential to increase local incomes and support biodiversity, particularly in areas with limited economic options.

We develop sustainable value chains
We believe local economic development can be achieved by creating fair incomes and fair working conditions, not only with supplying entrepreneurs whom we support directly, but also for collectors and farmers that provide the raw materials. 

 

We design sustainable sourcing strategies
Sustainable value chains start with sustainable sourcing. By sourcing sustainably entrepreneurs can assure sufficient raw materials for their production today, without depleting resources for the future. 

 

LEt’s work together

We build trust and foster meaningful connections that encouraging fresh thinking.

“ProFound helped us to look into our business model, to re-evaluate, our value propositions. Starting from: What is the key product that we can sell? What is the best way to deliver our product? After the workshops, I realized that our ideas were not updated. It was short and intense, and it helped us to evaluate what is in the best interest of the company.”

“As a BSO, we learned how to help companies enter the market by building their capacity and creating export marketing plans. We’ve gained confidence and clarity. To be honest, I don’t think we would be where we are today without ProFound. We now have a trade promotion unit.”
