We started in March 2005 with the goal of creating opportunities for disadvantaged producers, as well as contributing to the support of fair trade concept. 

In 2008, our founders from the Slovak enterprise investment fund Integra Co-op began to export the world’s first fair trade macadamia. In addition to processing and exporting macadamia nuts, we also set up macadamia nurseries to graft and distribute tree seedlings among Kenyan farmers. 

At the same time, Integra intensified its development cooperation with smallholder coffee farmers in Ethiopia. As a result, in 2010, we established a fair trade and organic coffee roastery. 

In 2017, Integra incorporated a new company in Kenya, with the aim to expand the macadamia business to other countries (starting with neighbouring Ethiopia), as well as add cashew nuts and dried fruit to the product line. 

Today, GROW.fairly maintains seedlings nurseries, cooperates directly with more than 15.000 smallholder farmers, and distributes ethically sourced nuts, coffee and dried fruit in Europe and North America.

We continuously strive to empower outgrowers and workers to improve their livelihood. 

GROW.fairly cultivates long-lasting relationships with conscious customers, thus providing farmers with fair access to global markets.

Strongly rooted in the system of organic agriculture, while supporting climate-smart practices of our cooperating farmers, we generate value that is fair to people and respectful to our planet.
