We are an agricultural cooperative based out of the Republic of Guinee (Guinee Conakry or French Guinea for some of you out there). 

Mission Statement: We finance and operate long term agriculture and timber projects that improve development, knowledge, employment and the economy of their respective locales. We want every project to be financially self-sustaining in the long-term. Every new project we introduce will be adapted to the relevant locale to ensure we can hire, train, and develop the citizens of that area. Each new project will have a horizon that extends beyond ten years with a built in flexibility to advance with corresponding gains. 

What does that mean in practice? Take timber for example. In some regions we see a rapid depletion of available timber typically for use as cooking fuel. When we introduce a tree nursery in such a region. Part of our harvest will go to replanting native trees that have suffered from rapid depletion while also growing trees for future hardwood timber production. Within two to three years certain species can be replanted during the rainy season to allow for local reforestation while training workers in nursery and tree planting techniques. By establishing the initial facility we anchor ourselves to a community. If in ten years we see success in the growing of select hardwood timber plantations then further investment will be made in timber processing capability. Hence the corresponding flexibility. 

Our philosophy takes a reverse on the conventional investment consensus. Where others see risk in lack of development, government support, and technical deficiencies we see a once in a generation opportunity. Guinea has a young population and an entrepreneurial spirit. The youth have access to the internet and see the progress of the USA, Europe, and East Asia. Many of them embark on long journeys to seek a better opportunity when heaven is beneath their feet. The soil of Guinee is generous, the rivers many, and the people splendid. We seek to utilize these conditions and people to develop the future foresters, technicians, and entrepreneurs who will lead the nation to a prosperous future. 

If one observes the Guinean countryside and isn't taken in by its charm and potential he is surely heartless. This nation has the potential of becoming a regional powerhouse both literally and figuratively and we will be there in the coming success.
