Fairtrasa - Peru

Fairtrasa Peru sources sustainably produced fresh fruit (mango, avocado, ginger, and others) from smallholder farmers across Peru, including rainforest regions.

The Fairtrasa Group has been among the pioneers in supporting socially and environmentally sustainable production methods among smallholders in Latin America.

It sources from smallholders which it assists in setting up cooperatives for the purpose. These cooperatives receive market access, training, prepayments, assistance in obtaining and managing certifications among others. Where possible, Fairtrasa Perú assists the cooperatives in developing their capacities to a level where they can independently manage exports to Fairtrasa’s European sales offices. It was the first Latin American company to export Fairtrade avocados. In addition to its work on improving livelihoods of smallholders, Fairtrasa differentiates itself as an environmental and climate pioneer. Its products hold various organic certifications and several products hold additional certifications such as Demeter biodynamic. Recently, it has started promoting regenerative agricultural practices among its smallholder suppliers and has achieved the Regenerative Organic Agriculture certification for part of its supply.
