Fair
Trade Virgin Coconut Oil
At Laureece, we harvest and
produce premium virgin organic
coconut oil using 100% Fair Trade Practices

Fair
Trade Starts with the Farmer
Unlike other coconut farmers, Laureece farmers earn 60% from the gross total
production per liter of virgin coconut oil, which is twenty percent higher than
what other coconut farmers in the Philippines earn.
Rather than having to borrow money to purchase equipment, Laureece farmers
are able to process their coconuts using equipment and materials provided by our
company. Not having to buy their
own equipment allows each Laureece farmer to earn an extra 15 to 20 percent more
than their counterparts.

Filipino farmers take turns husking fresh
coconuts.
Fair trade farmers need
protective measures
Laureece is registered with the Philippine Department of Trade,
which is committed to fair trade practices for coconut farmers in
the Philippine Islands. Not
only is the PDT committed to fair treatment of our farmers, but to
the quality of the products we produce as well.
In addition, coconut farmers in the Philippines are protected
from unfair trade practices through their membership in the
Coconut Farmers Federation (CocoFed).
Each farmer that works for Laureece is a member of this
organization.

Our Vision
It is our vision to promote health in every part of the earth,
improve the quality of life (health wise) of everyone, and at the
same time improve the quality of life of Filipino farmers by
alleviating their poverty.
To reach our goal without sacrificing the quality of our
product, the Laureece Company provides free seminars, training, supervision,
equipment and materials to our coconut farmers. Our experts buy
directly matured coconuts from the organic farms operated by
our farmers. We pay the farmers for every liter they produce. We
give incentives and benefits, and we treat them as part of the
company and our family.

How
our free trade practices benefit you
The Laureece Company sells directly to you, and, in
the Philippines, to patients at the clinic run by Dr. Mary Jader-Onate. There is
no middle man.
You can be assured that every pint, quart, or gallon
of virgin coconut oil you buy from Laureece helps to bring families
out poverty and to provide a brighter future for Filipino children.
