Ekibio

Ekibio was founded in 1988 by ethical entrepreneur and son of a farmer, Didier Perréol, with a view to reconciling business ethics, environmental concerns, and economic growth.

His venture started in 1989 with the importation and commercialization of a small seed found in the high plateaus of Bolivia and referred to as the gold of the Incas : quinoa. One mighty little seed that made all the difference…

Nowadays, Ekibio develops, processes, and commercializes nearly 1,000 organic plant-based grocery products.

Ekibio is certified Bio Partenaire (organic partner) and Bio Entreprise Durable (sustainable organic company).

The know-how of expert organic production sites

Ekibio relies on specialized organic manufacturing plants located in in France.

Ekibio hase chosen to co-invest with producers in the heart of production areas to prevent the desertification of certain regions and the loss of trades. For example in Haute-Provence with the company Bioengrain for einkorn, or in Camargue with the company Bio Camargue for rice, but also in Bolivia with the company Jatariy that it had created in the late 90s.

In 2020, Ekibio sold the majority of the capital of Jatariy company to producers, associating them as closely as possible with the destiny of the company.
Ekibio has also invested in gluten-free products for the processing of its brand Ma Vie Sans Gluten, with a stake in the company Alisa.
