Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs)

Fado Trading is dedicated to diversifying its portfolio by championing Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs). We actively engage in sourcing a variety of specialized NTFPs, ethically harvested from well-managed forests across our operational regions in Africa and Indonesia. These crucial resources serve diverse global industries, from food and pharmaceuticals to cosmetics and artisanal crafts.

Our focus on NTFPs directly supports environmental stewardship and community well-being. By providing sustainable income streams that depend on the forest remaining intact and thriving, we offer a powerful alternative to traditional timber logging, actively protecting precious forest ecosystems from deforestation. Examples include delicious wild honey, versatile bamboo, aromatic resins, nourishing nuts, and natural dyes. This commitment reflects our belief in trade that nurtures both prosperity and ecological balance.
