Olam Agri Peru

As part of Olam Agri, our Specialty Grains & Seeds business in Peru is a leading supplier of processed quinoa grains and chia seeds, offering services to several distributors, manufacturers, supermarkets and private brands across 5 continents.

We have established direct relationships with farmers in quinoa and chia-growing regions in Peru, working closely with our growing communities to make a positive impact, with over 2700 quinoa and chia farmers. We focus on optimising farm economies and creating positive environmental and social impacts in communities and landscapes in some of the least developed areas of the country. We collaborate with farmers to develop solutions which improve yields, quality and market access, and provide training on Forest preservation, reforestation, and climate smart agriculture

Our processing facility located in Lima has one of the best processing infrastructures in the industry, with unique packaging capabilities for bulk and retail. We seek innovation with our customers to create more sustainable products, including recyclable packaging.

We've installed a crop dryer and automated retail packaging with an annual capacity 5,000 mt at our facilities in Peru, where we supply customers with both bulk and retail packs. The packaging machine enhances our commitment to food safety as it requires no manual intervention, which is enabling us to supply private label retail products to retailers, brands and packaging companies across North America, Latin America and Europe.

We operate to the highest quality and food safety standards, ensuring supply of healthy and safe products to the end consumer. Our certifications include BRC “AA”, HACCP, GMP, Gluten Free, Kosher, Halal and SMETA. Through our strong focus on Sustainability and Digitalisation we strive towards achieving an end-to-end fully traceable, transparent and responsible supply chain.

Over and above agriculture, we focus on improving the health and nutrition of communities by delivering education programmes and providing non-agriculture inputs. Our sustainability programmes positively impact our farmers.

We’re honoured that our business has been selected as a flagship project by the Food Action Alliance for our work with local nutritionists, female farmers, and farming communities. With support from USAID, we’re training smallholder quinoa farmers to build their sustainable organic capacity enabling them to achieve organic and AtSource+ certification and increase their yield by 10% on average.
