We believe doing good
can be profitable.
Profitable impact as a solution for the future
We are adamant that achieving sustainable impact must go through the adoption of the profitable impact concept since the sustainability of an action is directly dependent on the sustainability of the resources it requires. This implies the need for structural innovation and the creation of new models and tools that will embody this concept and allow the creation of true sustainability.

CashewNotes explained
Cashew Notes are innovative instruments, built with the farmers in mind, each of which represents 1 kg of cashew kernels, directly benefitting the farmers by offering them a better livelihood and an opportunity to plan the future.
Our main innovation is in the approach of our model, in the proprietary instruments we deploy, as well as in the approach we take for the distribution of the products by developing our own market using full traceability.
Bettering the livelihood of our farmers
As is often the case in today's economy, the farmers are benefitting only from a small fraction of the retail price of their produce. CashewNotes is seeking to change that fact by proposing a new approach, one where the farmers get more control over the process and have the opportunity to grow and play a bigger role in their future.
The CashewNotes model allows, therefore, the betterment of the livelihood of the farmers and places them at the heart of the market. Paying tribute to the extremely important work they are doing, creating healthy and high-quality food for Cambodia and the world.
