We believe in a future where everyone can earn a fair income from food production and trade. We look to make varied, sustainably produced food accessible to all, reaching consumers with the lowest footprint. We design food systems in unexplored areas with large potential for new food and perishable-product supply chains. Our projects create a sustainable impulse for local development, food supply and international trade.
We see intelligent logistics as the key to unlocking the hidden economic potential of emerging food production and consumption economies in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
We focus on valuable, perishable products in which the Netherlands has traditionally been a strong presence: fruit and vegetables, flowers, medicines, meat and fish, meat substitutes and dairy products. These products require specialist know-how, and therefore present opportunities for Dutch companies from the agro-food, logistics and water sectors.
Flying Swans looks to develop projects that unlock both commerical value as well as development impact. Enabling export trade for valuable perishables creates commercial opportunities for farmers and businesses. These opportunities are compounded by improved quality, less losses, and lower carbon footprints.
Flying Swans are project developers, first and foremost. We take the initiative by proactively taking on early-stage project development that create opportunities for agricultural and logistical businesses and foster development impact.
Flying Swans develops a wide range of supply chain projects in developing countries, focusing on unlocking perishhable export chains for increased incomes.
