The Company Our client is a social enterprise that produces and commercializes quinoa, “the mother of grains”, in collaboration with the local agricultural community in the highlands of Ayacucho, Peru, with the aim to help develop a thriving agricultural business, so they can be self-sufficient and make an independent income and consequently improving their social living conditions. Ayacucho is a region in Peru known for its top quality quinoa: excellent taste, large grains, beautiful colors, and very easy to use in many applications. The company is vertically integrated (“from field to fork”) and consists of an entity in Peru sourcing and processing quinoa and an entity in Belgium responsible for the commercialization and after sales services to their customers (retail, food industry, food service, wholesalers) in Europe as well as other continents. In order to guarantee constant high quality, a sustainable cooperation model has been developed with Ayacuchan farmers (> 500 families), providing them daily technical assistance, from sowing to harvest, including bio-certification. The conversion into consumer-ready products takes place according to the strictest standards and controls in the field of food safety and hygiene in a local processing plant. The joint venture (cross-participation) in this local processor provides control over the entire value chain and guarantees “100% traceability”, which is an important quality label as well as a very important differentiator. The Belgian entity, with warehouse in Antwerp and offices in Ghent, offers quinoa in various forms to its clients: dry grains (all colors, organic or conventional, bulk or packed), flakes, pops and flour (in bulk for the food industry) as well as dry mixes and ready-to-eat mixes (for retail, under private label and food service).
