Sobre empresa
Horizontes Organicos, C.A.
Since 1998 we have been active in promoting Organic and Biodynamic agriculture in the Dominican Republic and eventually established our company providing an export-market for these producers. Meanwhile interest in organic produce is also growing in the local population.
Through on-farm advisory as well as periodical workshops on Organic and Biodynamic farm management we are developing ecological consciousness and management skills.
We contract with a variety of growers in the different regions of the country and advise and supervise all aspects from field to packing.
To develop and ensure organic growing practices we maintain our own “Internal Inspection Program”, leading to organic Certification of our growers.
Socio-economic aspects:
The company’s management-team exclusively hold ownership of stock.
Many of our employees are also farmers, including the company's president, Christoph F. Meier, who has over 35 years experience in Biodynamic and Organic agriculture in Europe and the USA.
Over 100 employees earn steady wages above local average.
A part of accruing profits are dedicated for community support, with the focus on child-education in the areas where the company is active.
Our associated growers receive prices with an organic premium (+-20% above conventional, depending on type of crop).
The increased inflow of money has shown a remarkable positive impact in the local economy.
We favor permanent crops, which once established need little or no mechanization, thereby avoiding the high costs of capital and energy inputs. Most of these crops are labor-intensive, providing employment to a large number of people.
Low-interest financing is extended to many growers, an important aspect in a country where commercial bank interest rates are over 36% per year.
We initiated “APROBATA”, a small Banana farmers association which is registered with the fair-trade organization "FLO / Max Havelaar". This guarantees them a fair price and an additional premium for social improvements.
We have been able to mitigate the disastrous impact of Hurricane-damage by bridging missing income gaps and financing field restoration with the additional help of fundraising efforts through our clients.
