The project seeks to strengthen and provide sustainability to the sacha inchik value chain by increasing the company’s plant capacity. New processing lines will be installed to create more exportable, value-added products from the Amazonian biodiversity of Shanantina’s member producers.
A laboratory will be set up for the propagation of entomopathogens and biofertilizers, and a biol and fertilizer plant with organic certification will be set up to ensure organic standards and increase crop yields, thus achieving better income for producers, ensuring water and soil conservation, and motivating producers not to migrate to forest areas to increase the agricultural frontier through the implementation of Conservation Agreements.
