Stated attributes
Publicly stated commitments — not necessarily independently verified.
Mavuno Harvest is a Philadelphia-based organic dried fruit company founded by a Peace Corps volunteer that sources products directly from small-scale farming cooperatives in Sub-Saharan Africa. The company is certified organic and Non-GMO Project Verified, and emphasizes Direct Trade relationships with farmers rather than Fair Trade certification, claiming this model provides better pricing and avoids certification costs for suppliers. However, transparency remains limited—while the brand highlights organic farming and farmer economic development, it has not published specific environmental targets, detailed labor policies, or comprehensive supply chain documentation.
Three pillars, scored independently. Higher is better.
