In Peru, the export of garlic has been growing. Our main destinations are Mexico and the United States. We develop different varieties of garlic, such as Napuri garlic, Chinese garlic, and Canyon garlic, handling presentations as boxes of 10kg or 30Lb in bulk, as well as units in meshes. In 2018, we have been the main exporter of garlic in Peru.

Onions
Description for conventional onion is mostly the same as for organic. We send them to the United States, Europe and for the Peruvian market. The varieties that we handle are Century and Cougar. Every year we plant 40 to 50 hectares of onion.
Mango
The mango is largely consumed as its fresh state, but it can also be used to prepare marmalades and jams. We’ve seen some clients are requiring them in frozen cubes also. It is sweet fruit, refreshing and easy to consume, rich in substances with antioxidant action, the reason why its consumption is adequate, taking into account also its nutritional properties for the entire population.
Lemon
Our lemon is a new crop project, we currently have 120 hectares sown in the northern part of the country. Our crops are projected to December of this year. This project has a completely organic treatment. On the other hand, our production chains for conventional lemon allow us to supply lemons for most of the year.

Quinoa is an ancestral grain considered between the Super Foods for its nutrients. It is said that the Incas usually consumed. We currently have Organic and Conventional Quinoa. The largest production in Peru takes place in the Puno region, cared with natural irrigation. As a dehydrated product, we have had special care to keep all its properties.
