About Okir
What is Okir?
Okir is a supply chain operation focused on cacao and coffee. We build transparent pathways from origin communities to markets, with every step documented and auditable.
Is Okir a company, nonprofit, or something else?
Okir operates as a for-profit entity with a capital structure designed for long-term stewardship rather than rapid growth or exit. Our governance prioritizes operational integrity over shareholder returns.
Where is Okir based?
Our operations span origin regions and destination markets. We do not maintain a single headquarters. Our infrastructure is distributed and our team works where the work requires.
Operations
What products does Okir sell?
We are building supply chain operations for cacao and coffee. Our primary customers are businesses that value traceable, transparently-sourced agricultural commodities.
How is Okir different from other supply chain companies?
We document our operations publicly, including our constraints and setbacks. We operate without venture timelines. We prioritize transparency as an operational constraint, not a marketing message.
Can I buy products directly from Okir?
Our primary operations are business-to-business. We do not currently sell directly to consumers, though this may evolve as operations mature.
Transparency
What do you mean by "transparent"?
We publish progress updates, roadmap status, and operational philosophy. We document decisions, constraints, and setbacks—not just successes. Our content is version-controlled so changes are traceable.
Why don't you publish financial details?
Some information is withheld due to partner agreements, competitive sensitivity, or personal privacy. When information is withheld, we state that it is withheld and provide the general reason.
How can I verify your claims?
Our content is stored in a public Git repository. You can view the history of any page. Our updates describe work completed, and you can observe the progression over time.
Involvement
Can I invest in Okir?
We are not currently seeking external investment. Our capital structure is designed to avoid the pressures that come with traditional venture or growth-focused investment.
