About the project
A direct solution for agro cooperatives. jÁgos works hand in hand with farmers and harvesters — red palm, coconut, cashew, baobab, Bijagós sea salt, bissap and mangrove rice — buying directly during the September to January harvest window.
The bars are made with hot-process saponification, ready to pack and ship within 24–48 hours and resistant to humidity. Packaging is 100% plastic-free: banana-stem wraps and palm and raffia boxes woven by local women's cooperatives.
