Who We Are

We believe supply chains should work for everyone—farmers, brands, and consumers. We bring expertise in global agricultural supply chains, international development, and CPG brand-building to deliver practical solutions that create tangible impact, from small farms to corporate boardrooms.

Why We Exist

Ingredient supply chains are broken.

Many ingredient supply chains prioritize short-term profits over long-term sustainability—leading to:

  • Extractive practices that degrade ecosystems.

  • Low returns for farmers and agricultural businesses.

  • Limited transparency and traceability for brands.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

What We Do

Our mission: Building better supply chains

Silvan partners with brands, retailers, and agricultural businesses to create stronger, more ethical, and regenerative supply chains by:

  • Unlocking funding and growth opportunities for agricultural businesses.

  • Helping brands source high-impact, traceable ingredients aligned with sustainability commitments.

  • Strengthening partnerships between growers and buyers for long-term success.

How We Work

Our Integrated Approach

We are a hands-on, embedded partner, working directly with teams to build stronger, more resilient supply chains. Whether supporting a small-scale producer in West Africa or an international retail brand, we roll up our sleeves, tackling challenges alongside you.

Our long-term partnerships ensure continued growth—providing capacity-building and market access for agricultural businesses, while supporting brands and retailers with supplier relationships, philanthropic alignment, and ESG communications.

Sustainable impact takes time, and we’re here for the long haul.
