Peruvian products comply with the quality and innocuousness standards required by international clients. Companies are certified with international standards such as ISO, HACCP, TESCO, and Global Gap, among others. Furthermore, they comply with strict norms of good agricultural practices that are under the supervision of the sanitary authorities of their main markets. These efforts are complemented by the continuous perfection of the productive procedures and services through the implementation of state-of-the-art technologies.

Peru has specialised in the cultivation of vegetables and fruits, which are exported both fresh and processed (pulp, frozen, conserved, etc.) to market niches that demand goods of high quality. Thus, the training of human resources in activities such as selection and handling is constantly improving. Thanks to these advances, Peru is a world leader in the exports of asparagus, avocados, blueberries, grapes and paprika, among other premium products.

Peru’s natural conditions and its ancestral agricultural tradition, sustained in the use of techniques that do not alter the environment, are comparative advantages to the export of organic products. Peru has more than 607 thousand hectares certified as organic or in transition, and in 2017, it was ranked seventh in the list of countries having the highest number of organic farmers (approx. 86,460) by the International Federation of Organic Agricultural Movements. Coffee, banana, and cocoa stand out among the Peruvian organic exports.
