Yourharvest

What Yourharvest does

YourHarvest AG is a Swiss B2B food procurement company headquartered in Baden, Switzerland. The company sources plant-based raw materials — including dried fruits, nuts, coconut products, frozen fruits, purees, concentrates, herbs, spices, mushrooms, vegetables, and alternative food ingredients — from a global network of certified producers and supplies them to European customers in retail, foodservice, and industrial manufacturing. Revenue is generated through transaction-based sale of food ingredients, with the company operating as a B2B procurement partner providing conventional, organic, and fair trade raw materials with tailor-made product solutions for retail shelves and industrial applications.

The underlying business model is asset-light procurement intermediation rather than technology platform: the company does not disclose proprietary software, algorithms, or AI capabilities. Its competitive position rests on decades-long producer relationships (Işik Tarim in Turkey since 1993, Biofoods in Sri Lanka for 20+ years, Bomarts in Ghana since 2013), a stack of certifications (EU-Bio, Bio Suisse, Demeter, Naturland, Fairtrade Max Havelaar, Rainforest Alliance, IFS Food, BSCI, Sedex, ClimatePartner), and a formal sustainability strategy covering 2021-2024. In 2023, YourHarvest became co-owner of Tahoma Coconut Products in Sri Lanka, a 2,500 MT/year coconut processing facility, marking a move toward vertical integration.

The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting European retail buyers, foodservice operators, and industrial food manufacturers. Distribution is direct from origin countries to European customers, with no disclosed pricing model. The company is privately held, governed by a five-member board led by CEO Pascal Schwarz, with no institutional investors or venture capital identified in public records. Revenue, headcount, and funding figures are not publicly disclosed.
