The Maguey Exchange puts the producers, their needs, and their community first by investing in community development, creating transparent marketplaces, and keeping more profit from each bottle directly where they’re sourced and produced.
We recognize that there must be an intentional balance between planting and harvesting to protect our natural resources and biodiversity for future generations. That’s why we work with producers and buyers to optimize management initiatives, forecast environmental and production impact, and encourage the use of waste and natural inputs as a resource.
Although technology is not a substitute for good policies and implementation, it can greatly accelerate development if effectively harnessed. Our platform partners with producers to maximize technological gains and increase productivity and efficiency, culminating in positive social impact and greater shared prosperity for all.
