About ProFound – Advisers in Development

ProFound believes a sustainably managed value chain of natural ingredient can transform rural areas. Natural ingredients provide much needed income for collectors and farmers. They also bring business opportunities to entrepreneurs. Also, sustainable collection and cultivation in biodiverse production systems can improve soils and sustain biodiversity. Moreover, our 25+ years of experience in natural ingredients makes this the sector where we can contribute most to sustainable development.

Natural ingredients are raw and processed materials from wild-collection or cultivation. We work with value-added natural ingredients for food, health and cosmetics industries with a particular interest in non-commodity ingredients.
