Quality & Harvesting Methods: Purchasing a high quality rainforest or South American botanical in the marketplace today can be quite tricky for the average person, professional or even manufacturer. Unfortunately, in South America, there is little control over sustainability, product quality, and/or species verification. Brokering medicinal plants into the U.S. market from South and Central America is a growing profitable industry with many participants of varying experience, knowledge and ethics. This surge in business and growing demand has created many problems in the industry which many Americans are unaware of.
Raintree is vastly different than other bulk suppliers who source their botanicals through various companies and brokers since we set up and control our own plant harvesting programs in the Amazon and South America. Raintree sets up wild-harvesting programs with local river communities and co-ops, with Indigenous Indian tribes and with NGO and governmental land management organizations. We first start with a land management plan to determine the sustainable yield the forest land can provide of which specific and species-identified plants. We then train the local harvesters on the best methods for harvesting, processing and storing of plants prior to pick up and pay them a fair wage for harvesting which is tied into our final sales prices. With some plants, locals are growing seedlings and replanting back into the jungle as they are harvesting these plants to ensure sustainability and to increase sustainable yields.
Raintree's botanicals are harvested to order as needed to ensure freshness and potency, then transported quickly into the export cities (Lima, Peru and Sao Paulo, Brazil). The plants are then cleaned and sanitized in ozonated water and Citricidal (a natural grapefruit seed extract with antimicrobial properties), then dried in low heat driers. Finally, the plants are ground into powders, tested and certified with independent microbiological testing, and then triple sacked into 25 kilo bags to be exported to the U.S. All of our imports to the US are by air-freight rather than by sea to further ensure the quality and freshness of our botanicals. Sometimes it can be as little as 30 days or less between the time that the plant was actually growing in the jungle and when we ship it to you.
This entire process allows us to control the quality of the plant from the time it is growing in the jungle until it arrives to the U.S. for sale to other manufacturers and consumers or processed into a Raintree product or proprietary formula. This process also keeps as much of the income and profits as possible in the country where the plant originated from, which is an important aspect in encouraging rainforest conservation locally.
The end result of these critically important methods and procedures is a complete line of high quality rainforest medicinal plants that professionals, manufacturers and consumers can be assured that:
|
| They are the correct species of plant. |
|
| They are wild harvested sustainably (without pesticides or fertilizers). |
|
| They are processed without irradiation or harmful chemicals. |
|
| They are the freshest and most potent plants the rainforest has to offer. |
|
| They are part of the solution to rainforest destruction. |
We know we aren't the cheapest, but we think we are the best if you demand a efficacious, ethical, sustainably harvested high quality product.
