Confidence Through Stewardship
INARU offers premium cacao products from the Dominican Republic
through a vertically- integrated model that incorporates high value in the following steps of production:
Profit Sharing
Sharing profits from both the refinery and branded consumer products.
Stable Monthly Pay
Economic stability through monthly payments instead of once a year lump sums. Recognition and amplification of work through Inaru’s world-class brand.
Antiquated, Exploitative Practices
Broken, unstable and inequitable supply chains harm the environment, unfairly distribute compensation and create inconsistent quality goods.
The Positive Spiral
A successful business doesn't have winners and losers, as choices shouldn't be made among great products, competitive prices, happy suppliers or ethical production. Our model, a cascading spiral, has positive ancillary effects; a force for good that gains momentum the more people it touches.
Choking the Roots- Farmers benefit the least
Producers are the last to reap the benefits of all their work; the majority of pay is lost to intermediaries.
Farmer/Producer-First Approach
INARU’s producers-first approach enriches producers without middleman and markups, through direct payments to farmers via exclusive contracts. Farmers enjoy a profit share from products made from their beans, directly aligning INARU’s success with their own.
Environmentally Unkind Practices
Fundamental and historical disregard for the toxic side effects of unsustainable practices.
Investing in and Cultivating Sustainable Practices
INARU provides producers in its community cost-free access to tools, resources and training for regenerative production. By processing onshore- the carbon footprint of our products is oceans lighter. Now that is sweet.
Poor Bean Quality/Quantity
Low productivity, disorganized cooperatives, and no incentives to improve quality of fermentation yield low and inconsistent bean quality.
Fine, Premium Products
INARU sources & supplies only premium Dominican cacao beans by building end-to-end production capabilities from farming, fermentation, and refinement, to product development and all logistics therein. This model allows Inaru to create a premium product that rewards everyone involved in creating it.
Verticalization enables heightened quality and fair distribution of profit.
As responsible stewards for every step in the process, INARU offers incomparable quality and impact assurance for valued buyers, as well as accessible pricing and positioning.
