At the beginning of December, we take the opportunity to say thanks for the
experiences from all this year. Our workers, farmers , consultors , clients and
family. Everybody supported us. With their support we can develop and
realize our projects. Watch the process for each product is a privilege.Because
the original idea to come in the organic production it was only as a mother
who looked for quality products. I needed seriously good quality products.Few
products did not exist in my country then I wanted to be sure about process no
break the properties of agriculture production. In the beggining of this way
my goal was only feed my girl with neurological disorders , now we are more
close about what happened with her. Similar attracted similar, a lot of natural
and alternatives sources came to us. Families who are on the same way contact
us. Share information could be the piece to change a lot in the way of some
search about we still did not know. Some plants, interventions helped some
maybe needs another combination potency, other way of application or other
previous before we use them. I m gratefull the families around us which
support each other to give more opportunities for better quality for life for
our children. On the same line of time , we needed a second company to focus
in organic exotic products, then it was born CHOCO PERU EIRL(2021) I’m
not alone in this project and because itself needs a lot of support. Universe
blessed us to get nice people around. Now when we see how CHOCO PERU
develop this makes us happy and compromise to care our quality and develop
what is necessary to stay on the new technology for this industry. THANKS
