From Chouani in the Comoros Islands, the Koponi family has been known for its ability to gather the community and create joyful bartering opportunities. As a business, Koponi is working hard to bring that joy to the rest of the world by manufacturing and processing ethically sourced goods.

The dedication of Fouad MHADJI with the support of the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation and assistance of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Food Innovation Center led to a manufacturing business established in Grand Island, NE in 2021.

From our family and friends’ farms to you, we guarantee the highest quality products to our consumers while supporting the economy and family farms in Comoros. Our staff strives to make a connection in between our farmers and our customers. This bond is what makes us stronger as a company.

We are a young business driven by the power of family and guided by the passion of exceptional products. Our vanilla is of the highest quality, is produced ethically, and affords dignity to the producers. We are committed to fair trade, ethical sourcing and wellness. Our mission is to create and maintain a sustainable trade market for farmers and their families while delivering premium products.
