The sourcing of organic ingredients distributed by BioGoût is ensured by Proforma Tropical, the parent company of the group, whose job is: identification, qualification and exploitation of supply chains throughout the world. BioGoût's role lies downstream of this stage: the import, export and distribution of these ingredients to food industry professionals, in formats and deadlines adapted to their activity.
The role of BioGoût in the group's supply chain
This distribution of roles within the Proforma Tropical group allows each entity to focus on its expertise: sourcing and construction of sectors on one side, import-export logistics and commercial distribution on the other. For you, a food industry professional, this means a single point of contact for your orders, your quotes and your quality monitoring, while benefiting from the depth of sectors built and controlled upstream by the group.
What the import and export of organic ingredients covers
Importing and exporting organic ingredients involves rigorous management of several aspects: customs and regulatory compliance at each border, maintaining the organic traceability chain from the country of origin until delivery, and adapting transport conditions (temperature, hygrometry) to the nature of the product. Each imported batch retains its certificate of organic conformity and its traceability data, transmitted by the channels sourced by Proforma Tropical.
Distribution to professionals: what this changes for you
Once the ingredients have been imported, BioGoût's role is to make them available in the formats and within the deadlines expected by professionals: wholesale packaging adapted to production, responsiveness on quotes and samples, stock management to smooth out seasonal variations, and quality monitoring at each stage of the order. It is this distribution link that guarantees you simple and reliable access to ingredients whose origin remains fully traceable.
An overview of the origins of the ingredients distributed
The group works with organic sectors spread across several continents. To give an idea of this geographical diversity, here are some examples of origins among the references distributed by BioGoût:
- Jujube, ginger, goji berries: China
- Brazil nuts: Bolivia
- Chia seeds: South America
- Wild blueberry: Europe
- Cranberry: Canada
- Flax seeds: France
- Dried fruits, oilseeds, plants and spices: Sub-Saharan Africa, among other origins
This list is not exhaustive: the references cover many other origins depending on the traceability, seasonality and quality needs specific to each product.

How to request sourcing in a sector that BioGoût does not yet offer?
