PROVIDING HOPE NEVER TASTED SO GOOD!

DELIGHTFULLY DIFFERENT

There is something delightfully different about Sunshine Nut Cashews, the story behind the nuts! Our cashews are transforming lives in Mozambique through bringing opportunity, dignity, and fairness to everyone beginning with the grower. Our roasting facility in Mozambique allows us to deliver the freshest product while training and employing adult orphans.

SUNSHINE APPROACH

Our profits are re-invested in Mozambican communities with a total of 90% of our proceeds going to transformative initiatives! Of our proceeds, 30% goes to supporting farming communities through ‘hand-up’ assistance, 30% to caring for orphans and vulnerable children, and 30% to creating new food companies! We believe our Sunshine Approach™ Philosophy has the potential to do great things!

BRINGING LIGHT TO A PROBLEM

Campaigners attack profits made by supermarkets from bag of cashewsFair trade activists urge EU to set up regulator to stop abuses of low pay and poor working conditions in Africa and India

Cashew nut workers suffer 'appalling' conditions as global slump dents profitsMany workers earn just 30p a day and risk permanent injury, say NGOs, as they call for EU crackdown on unfair trading practices

“The Sunshine Approach improves on traditional “fair trade” in that it creates incentives for quality all along the value chain, and lowers costs. It is a brilliant concept that combines “heart” with “head,” based on deep knowledge of how commodity trading and markets work, together with a deep commitment to reducing the suffering of the world´s most needy. Perhaps most importantly, it has the potential to transform how commodities are purchased from the poor, significantly reversing the terms of trade to the benefit of smallholder farming families and their communities worldwide.” - Jake Walter, Technoserve Director for Mozambique (Sept. 2013)

The Sunshine Nut Company provides tasty employment in Africa

A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDERThe Sunshine approach model is founded on the basis that companies can have profound positive impact on people’s lives. While at The Hershey Company, I was inspired by the company’s commitment to caring for orphans. Milton Hershey opened a school for orphaned boys in 1909 and upon his passing in 1945 left his fortune to the school. The school has transitioned many children into a successful life, including my father-in-law who graduated 1955.

It is our objective to demonstrate a model that will successfully transform poor farming communities in a way that provides fairness, opportunity, and empowerment from within. We strive to bring people together around a vision that truly transforms communities.

The success of our company and the impact we create is all thanks to you! We appreciate the support of our fans and for believing that providing hope has never tasted so good!
