To the farmers with whom we work, Suminter pays a premium for the farmers' organic crops, the quality and consistency of which Suminter monitors throughout the growing period. Prices for organic goods average 10-15% higher than those for conventional goods and so Suminter guarantees to its farmers purchase of each crop at the organic market price, allowing them to earn a profit on their production. By guaranteeing a premium price to the farmers, Suminter is helping these farmers to gain economic stability.
