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.
