agricultura

Traditional knowledge of agriculture

In Peru we have more than 143 thousand producers who are dedicated to the sowing of
Andean grains.

This represents 0.9% of the harvested area in the country.

74% are small producers: which exploit fields of less than 5 hectares.

Training

Our PAS (Promoters of sustainable agriculture) seek to promote the continuous
improvement of our product chain, through workshops, training, internships, congresses.

Production

Our PAS (Promoters of sustainable agriculture) focus on advising the producers for the installation of cultivation, then carry out the follow-up to the sowing with the objective of ensuring the quality of the product.

At harvest time, the PAS are responsible for verifying the safety of the product in the field, and that good storage practices are respected. As well as the transfer of the product to our plant.

Market
Our market approach is aimed at obtaining mainly the direct product from the producer, thereby seeking to provide better profitability and growth opportunities to the producer.

Organic agriculture

Organic agriculture is a system that seeks to promote and protect the health of agroecosystems, biological diversity, biological cycles, and soil activity. «This is achieved by applying agronomic, biological, ecological and mechanical methods, as opposed to the use of synthetic materials, chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, to perform any specific process within the system».

Following the current regulations of the USDA and the European Union, the team of professionals that make up the Internal Control System (ICS) oversees verifying the operations through activities carried out throughout the year with the local producers.

These activities range from planning to plant delivery, allowing full production traceability.

What is the ICS?

The ICS (Internal Control System) is the body in charge of promoting, verifying, and reporting on all processes for th certification of quinoa fields and compliance with organic standards.

Synergy

Constant product support

We are present at each stage of the crop, not only with technical advice but also with tools for producers to improve their operations.

ICS Activities

Registration of producers

Prior to each campaign, the applications are received and the team of promoters of the ICS carry out the registration of the producers. They can be individual, family, communal and/or some other associative form

Recommendations, accompaniment, and training

The organic promoters are in all the activities of the producers, from the planning of the crop
to the final commercialization.
