Company

We are based in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire and in London, United Kingdom. We focus on building bridges between rural producer communities and international buyers of cocoa, vanilla and agricultural products.

Mission

Connecting producers and buyers

Our mission is to connect rural producers in Côte d'Ivoire to global markets in a way that is commercially sound and respectful of communities, focusing on realistic commitments and shared value.

Presence

Located in Abidjan

From Abidjan, we coordinate sourcing, quality checks and logistics with partners in producing regions and shipping hubs, supporting both producers and buyers.

Partnerships

Long-term relationships

We look for long-term relationships with both producers and buyers, where expectations are clear and we can build trust over time.

How we see our role

We see ourselves as a bridge: close enough to communities to understand realities on the ground, and close enough to buyers to understand specifications, constraints and opportunities.

  • • Listening carefully to technical and commercial requirements.
  • • Explaining what is possible – and what is not – at origin.
  • • Coordinating logistics and documentation with clarity.
  • • Keeping communication open throughout the relationship.
ORION team and partners in the field

Working with rural communities

At ORION Agrotech & Trade SARL, rural communities are at the heart of our mission. We work directly with farmer cooperatives and family-run plantations across Côte d’Ivoire, developing long-term partnerships that support both product reliability and social impact.

Our field team supports farmers with training in good agricultural practices (GAP), organic transition techniques and post-harvest handling. Together, we improve quality, strengthen traceability and help create better incomes for producers.

This practical, relationship-based approach allows us to source premium cocoa, vanilla and other agricultural products while promoting sustainable land use, biodiversity and local development.
