Isbn: 9781637744925 - finding fortunato: how a peruvian adventure inspired the sweet success of a family chocolate business (32 risultati)

Hardback. Condizione: Good. Embark on an up-close and personal journey into the northern Peruvian jungle as last-chance entrepreneurs accidentally stumble upon a variety of cacao thought to be extinct, in this chocolate-rich business adventure memoir. Take a front row seat to a family of entrepreneurs searching relentlessly for a sustainable competitive advantage in the wake of many failed attempts at starting a family business. When they inadvertently discover the legendary Nacional white cacao bean in a remote canyon of the Peruvian jungle, the USDA calls it 'an unprecedented discovery.' The cacao is so rare that even acclaimed author and travel host Anthony Bourdain and chef Eric Ripert trek to this particular jungle to film a segment for Bourdain's 'Parts Unknown.' With no job and no other way to earn a living, the author's brother, Brian, moves to the jungle to live with cacao farmers - and Fortunato Chocolate is born. The family soon realize that their chocolate dream will only work if they reconceive and disrupt the supply chain. Instead of middlemen hoarding profits and keeping farmers in relentless poverty, they trade directly with them and produce what the BBC hails as 'the Rolex of chocolate.' Follow along as these intrepid entrepreneurs endure many heartbreaking near-victories and nail-biting adventures, ultimately shaking off failure and finding their competitive advantage in the humble white cacao bean and their ethical direct trade with the bean's farmers. Finding Fortunato is an inspiring and improbable tale that's infused with the indomitable entrepreneurial spirit, and revels in the gut instincts that lead to unimaginable success.…

Hardback. Condizione: New. Dan Pearson was a 62-year-old businessman coming out of bankruptcy when he started a mining supply distribution company in northern Peru with his stepson Brian Horsley. Like almost all of Dan's previous businesses, the mining supply company soon came to an end and Brian found himself married, with a child, and living in Peru without a job. Through a series of completely unpredictable lucky breaks, Brian and Dan found a population of cacao growing in a remote canyon of the Peruvian jungle that the USDA called "an unprecedented discovery." With no job and no other way to earn a living, Brian moved out to the jungle to live with cacao farmers. With yet another business teetering on the edge of going under, Dan and Brian realised that the only way they could survive and thrive was to completely reconstruct the way chocolate supply chains work. Instead of middlemen eating up all the profits and keeping cacao farmers in relentless poverty leading to environmental destruction and slavery, Dan and Brian decided to give back as much as they could to their cacao farm partners. The new approach didn't only save the business. It now also provides a blueprint for conducting environmentally sound and ethical direct trade with cacao farmers while also producing more delicious chocolate for chocolate lovers at a better price.…
