responsAbility has invested in Suminter, a leading global organic products supply chain management company which sources, processes and exports certified 100% organic and GMO-free products from Asia and Africa.

Founded in 2004, Suminter is a fast-growing, market-leading, global supply chain management company focused on 100% organic and GMO-free products, with a diverse product portfolio encompassing the largest segments in the long shelf life organic foods and fibre industry such as animal feed (soya), food (spices and herbs, cocoa, virgin coconut oil, vanilla, sugar, cereals and pulses, etc.) and whole body (cotton). The company’s sourcing and processing operations are spread across Asia and Africa and it has a diversified customer base across a total of 20 countries and 4 continents, such as US and Europe.

The global organic food market has reached a critical mass and is growing fast, expected to reach USD 321 bn by 2025, which reflects a 10-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13%. The long gestation periods for converting conventional farmland into organic farmland and for obtaining global certifications leads to entry barriers for companies who want to become active in the market.
