We elevate AgroFood
value chains between Brazil
and Europe
with authenticity, quality, collectivity, and innovation.
In the tropical climates of Brazil, incredibly talented farmers grow and harvest a bountiful array of foods. These products, teeming with flavour, freshness, and nutrition, are the source of our energy and well-being. Yet, have you ever wondered why these vibrant tastes and their rich origin seem to fade and blur by the time they reach Europe?
​
Our distance to (imported) foods contributes to a variety of problems:
1. We allocate less of our household budgets to foods
2. A significant portion of produced foods are wasted
3. Chronic diseases like obesity and diabetes are on the rise
4. Our environmental and societal resources are overused
Our goal is for you to:
-
Buy the Brazilian products you love with unparalleled taste and variety
-
Be able to place total trust in your local and global farmers
-
Overcome in-season availability and price swings
-
Interact with growers and shape the way you consume
As such, we aim to contribute to a new consumption culture and address the above mentioned issues.
What makes us different?
We go
beyond
traceability
Information is good, insight and trust are better. When the food flow is farm-driven, traceability becomes obsolete.
We go beyond marketplaces and crowd orders
You buy what you like and when you want, coming from a select group of diversified growers.
We build
portfolio and network effects
Our community will shape
and own the company
We
innovate
​
New varieties, processes, and products are equally part of our DNA
We strive to build a regenerative food system
We contribute to improvements in nature and society in our production, transport, processing, and packaging operations
The founding story
My name is Matthias König and I founded Foodflows at the end of 2022.
After experiencing agriculture for 12 years in various Finance and Business roles at Syngenta, I decided to go down the entrepreneurship route.
During our 7 years based In São Paulo, my family and I learned to appreciate the rich culture and diverse nature of Brazil.
The potential of Brazil to produce tasty and healthy food in a sustainable way for a growing population is enormous. And the challenges of the current food value chain are obvious: anonymity and lack of end-to-end accountability.
This asks for a refreshing approach to international food flows.
