About Us: What do we do, and how can you help?

Our story
NEO Corporation was born out of a deep commitment to drive sustainable change in global commodity value chains. Our founders, with a background in both for-profit and non-profit sectors, recognise the vast potential of smallholder farmers in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. By combining business expertise, a passion for poverty alleviation, and a global network, NEO Corporation was created to bridge the gap between the challenges of smallholder farmers and the opportunities within international trade.

Our mission
At NEO, we are more than just a business—we are a social enterprise with a singular focus: putting people and the planet over profits. We partner with farmers, cooperatives, NGOs, and other stakeholders to add value to primary commodities, ensuring above-market pricing, market access, and income stability for farmers. We reinvest our profits into the communities we work with, supporting education, vocational training, agroforestry initiatives, and more.

Our vision
We envision a world where smallholder farmers thrive, where local communities have access to fair trade, and where sustainable practices are at the heart of global commodity markets. Through innovation, collaboration, and respect for the environment, NEO strives to create a future where agriculture uplifts the people who grow it.

Our approach
NEO’s model is centred on empowering farmers by providing the resources, knowledge, and market access they need to succeed. We offer processing solutions, improve supply chain efficiency, and ensure that the farmers we work with are compensated fairly for their hard work. Our commitment to sustainability extends not only to the environment but also to building long-term partnerships that benefit all stakeholders.
