We created a business model that involves working with the wide biodiversity of raw materials available in Peru, and that contributes to improving the living conditions of rural communities. This allows us to cooperate with all the actors involved in the value chain.
HISTORY OF
Our Business
We founded Villa Andina in 2007 with the aim of developing top-quality natural and organic food products that make a real contribution to improving the human diet. We created a business model that involves working with the wide biodiversity of raw materials available in Peru, and that contributes to improving the living conditions of rural communities. This allows us to cooperate with all the actors involved in the value chain.
We began selling small volumes of goldenberries to the international market. The excellent acceptance that our product received made us take the decision to move to the department of Cajamarca, in the northern Andes of Peru, where most of the cultivation of goldenberries takes place. Being on site, alongside crop cultivation and harvesting, involved us directly with the local producers, we became aware of other potential crops such as quinoa, cacao, yacon, maca; and subsequently diversified our line of products with these new organic raw material and product derivatives that could be made from them. These experiences have enabled us to establish a direct relationship between the producer and the final consumer.
