We only use organic sustainable farming methods and procedures in the farmlands and professional food quality standards in the production facility in Tarapoto, Peru.

Rain Forest Sustainable Farming

The Sacha Inchi plant starts flowering within five months and fruiting within just eight months of planting. With a lifespan of over 10 years, it is a sustainable crop and the plant provides a steady, reliable source of income for the Amazonian grower while minimizing the overuse of precious lands. Solids left over from the oil production, rich in proteins and with good nutritional value, are being used to feed cattle.

Almost two-thirds of Peru consists of tropical lowlands (green in the map above), the western edge of the immense Amazon basin, yet barely 12% of the population live there. Sacha inchi is one of the crops the Peruvian government's Pro Amazonía program is trying to develop in the region.
