Working with IPEH to boost paprika exports
The Export Promotion Commission (PROMPEX) will provide support for product promotion, technical development of publications and their dissemination in coordination with the private sector. This initiative is the result of teamwork by the public and private sectors, with important support from CAF, and is an auspicious effort to open the way for new forms of financing, executing and maintaining activities that favor the economic and social development of the country.
Paprika exports have grown rapidly, increasing 95% last year from the year before. This strong pressure on the productive chain has created the need for integrated work to develop it. The project that comes into being today involves promotion, training and certification in good agricultural practices in the field, and technical training for the intermediate actors in the chain.The direct beneficiaries of this initiative will be approximately 100 small- and medium-sized paprika producers in the areas of Lambayeque, La Libertad, Ancash, Lima, Ica and Arequipa and six important paprika agroexport companies. The benefits of this pilot program are expected to spread throughout the sector through dissemination of the resulting technical documents.
The development and certification of the local protocol in Good Agricultural Practices will be the first pilot in Peru and the basis for the later development of a seal of quality with international recognition.The third Peruvian agroexport product
