Mission - Social

It is gratifying to each of us at BEDEMCO that our business helps maintain and improve agricultural living and working opportunities to sustain our planet's natural resources.

In South Africa, we work with the country's largest dried fruit cooperative which has cultivated land and provided a multitude of jobs in areas where formerly only desert existed. In South America we purchase tropical products developed with U.S. AID funds to provide economic alternatives to the growing and trafficking of cocoa. We support and encourage the presevation of the Rainforest by promoting market development of Brazil nuts, and support the use of Green Energy by offering fruit dried through the use of clean, geo-thermal resources.

In North America, we work with individual farmers and cooperatives supplying conventional and organic products for U.S. consumption and for export. We endeavor to make these products as popular as Turkish apricots, which were developed as a substitute to the cultivation of poppy. In all these ways and more, we assist in generating income and jobs for farmers and rural workers.

We are committed to offering products which are an essential part of a healthy balanced diet. We appreciate our customers' support, and consider your continued confidence in us our most valuable asset.
