Peru is situated on the western coast of South America just south of the equator. Agriculture is an important sector and employs a large percentage of the work force. Thanks to generous government subsidies, this sector has experienced considerable growth in recent years.
The production of fruit on sandy soil combined with a favourable climate makes it possible for the products to mature more rapidly.
The country is known for its numerous sub-climates, as a result of which a wide range of different types of fruit can be grown.
Total Produce B.V. works together closely with leading growers for the supply of citrus fruit, pomegranates and grapes.
