Warm greetings from Mexico,
The purpose of this email is to introduce our organization, the Bioplaneta Network, in the hopes that we might be able to establish communication and cooperation with others concerned about fair trade and the environment.
Bioplaneta is a Mexican non-profit that arose several years ago in response to the thousands of Mexican communities and small businesses that were struggling to commercialise their products and services without being forced to undersell to the highest international bidder. We are a national network of rural and self-sustained cooperative organizations committed to the environment, Fair Trade and the improvement of the living standards of its members. We are a tool through which rural community oriented businesses can obtain advice on how to maintain or improve the quality of their products as well as assistance in the commercialisation of their products and services. We are dedicated to the preservation and conservation of Mexico's natural resources, forests and wildlife.
Our network is made up of 58 cooperatives and businesses, with more than 10,000 producers, in 13 states in Mexico, of those which produce a wide range of products (natural cosmetics, artisan products, organic coffee, agricultural products, etc.)
In contacting you, we are hoping to inspire interest in our organization in order to create a possible alliance and/or business relationship with your company. Our main goal, as a non-profit organization, is to promote and sell the products and services of our producers and additionally to promote the concepts of sustainable development and fair trade in the international market. We work directly with the American company, Body Crystal Environmental Products, for the representation and sale of our products in the United States.
We feel that Bioplaneta is, and will be even more so in the future, an extremely important resource for the small Mexican producers that we work to support. We would like to take this opportunity to create international alliances with organizations and businesses such as your own in looking to work with people and groups that are concerned with sustainable development and helping to provide an fair wage and a high quality of life for all people, independent of their vocation.
I would like to invite you to visit our website to learn more about us: www.bioplaneta.com
Warm regards and please contact our representative, Jay Smith with Body Crystal Inc. (949-443-0991) for more information.
