Who are we ?
Santinell is a Franco-Paraguayan family business based in France, which operates between Paraguay and internationally.
Our company works in the field of import-export.
​
Our desire is to always highlight human values (mainly respect, whether towards others but also towards the environment) in our work and in our daily lives.
​
It is our activity, which will allow us to have the necessary resources to carry out our projects!
Our vision
Constantly improve the methods in our fields of activity, in order to change things, and to be part of a sustainable development approach.
​
We are committed to making our world more livable, equitable and viable.
​
Our mission
-
Participation in the economic development of the country by working with small farmers in Paraguay
-
Fair income to allow them financial stability and improve their working conditions
-
Support for the Che Roga Foundation, which supports an orphanage in Paraguay
-
Part of the international project: "Sustainable production and food from Paraguay to feed the world population"
-
Products from organic farming, with many health benefits
-
Project to invest in 100% non-polluting transport
Our work
Our products are mainly from organic farming,
but we have also some from conventional agriculture.
Why ?
Our job is not only to work with farmers who produce organic, but also to help those for whom this is not the case, by accompanying them in a gradual and adapted transition, to change their methods. So they will be able to convert to sustainable agriculture first, then, eventually, to 100% organic agriculture.
How ?
We will start by selling their current products, which, on the one hand, will allow us to provide them with financial stability, and on the other hand, to create capital. This capital will give us the opportunity, among other things, to:
- give them access to the information and training they need to run the farm
- equip them with material that is more respectful of the environment and more suited to organic farming
- the implementation of cultivation practices allowing soil preservation and limiting the risk of pollution
Our engagements
Being in a process of sustainable development, we are committed to our producers, to respect:
- their sowing and harvesting calendar
- their production capacity
We work with several producers for the same product, so as not to encourage overexploitation, but also to be able to satisfy the quantity of orders, while supporting as many farmers as possible.
With the producers who allow it, we work on order, that is to say that we do not stock our products, but we carry out the sowing according to your order. Then, when they reach maturity, we harvest them, process them (for finished products), package them and send them to you. This process may seem restrictive because the products will take longer to reach you than if they were stored, but it ensures you very high quality and freshness.
Our project
of committed events
In addition to our commitment to our main activity of import-export, we have decided to carry out parallel actions by organizing events in which we will highlight the values that we defend and want to invite everyone to practice on a daily basis.
​
These events will be regular (approximately every 2 to 3 months), in various forms (treasure hunt, cleaning up nature, various collections for people in need, well-being and health workshops, sports half-days, etc.).
​
To do this, we have opened our Association Santinell ACSEP
​
Our events will deal with the following topics:
- Solidarity (sharing, mutual aid)
- Citizenship
- Respect the environment
- Health, well-being
