Gebana AG is founded in 1998 as a trading company with the aim of economically combining social and ecological values and building sustainable food supply chains. As problems arise in production in the South, gebana invests in local processing and direct contact with the farmers. In close cooperation with local partners, subsidiary companies are gradually established in Brazil, Burkina Faso, Tunisia, Togo and Benin.
