C olibree's President and Founder, Sabra Van Dolsen, was born in San Miguel de Allende, a small town in the state of Guanajuato. She has spent many years in Mexico both for travel and for work. She hoped to create a project in Mexico that fulfilled certain "long-term socio-economic development objectives." The production of Agave syrup creates jobs in Mexico and supports a network of agricultural cooperatives committed to sustainable agriculture and the principles of Fair Trade. When she discovered Agave syrup in 1995, she found the answer. The manufacturer's of Nekutli are backed by a network of agricultural cooperatives that practice profit sharing involving 60,000 farmers operating in 17 states throughout the Republic of Mexico.
"I have been enthralled by this product because of its superior qualities as a sweetener but my real passion for Agave Nectar is based on the fact that this project is positive for Mexico, creating an export product that can help create good jobs that allow people to stay home and develop their own economy and communities. For instance, as a result of this project, the manufacturers of Nekutli have built a bottling plant in Cuquio, Jalisco where one of the agricultural cooperatives is headquartered. When we talk about the equitable distribution of income, it means we need to invest in Mexico and other third world countries. The development of Agave Nectar is an example of bringing this into place in the real world." This summer, Colibree will launch nationwide distribution under its registered brandname, NEKUTLI", at such stores as Whole Foods, Wild Oats, and various specialty and gourmet retail chains, as well as conventional grocery chains where more and more customers are seeking organic products (the fastest growing segment of the food industry is organic foods, maintaining an annual growth rate of 20% over the past eight years). The Colibree Company is located in Aspen, Colorado and maintains offices in Los Angeles, Denver and New York City with distribution outlets in California, Washington State, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois and New Jersey. Nekutli is also available in Central and South America, Canada, Europe, and Asia. Colibree is seeking strategic distribution partners that will engage in the retail distribution of the NEKUTLI ¨ Organic Agave Nectar and as an ingredient sweetener for food service and food and beverage manufacturers.
