WHO WE ARE ?
PERU WORLD WIDE S.A.C. is a Peruvian growing company specialized on producing, processing, packing and exporting natural, and certified organic Quinoa (white, red and black) and Amaranth; in all their forms: grains, or processed: flour, flakes, puffed and extruded.
The company was founded by Rafael and Fernando Arrarte, two brothers who are industrial engineers with extensive experience in agribusiness, industrial projects and international commerce. Excited with the exceptional nutritional qualities and benefits that Quinoa can bring to humanity, we decided to launch the company in 2008 with this noble crop as our main export product.
We are located in Arequipa city, the second biggest Peruvian city in the South part of Peru, located at 2,300 meters above sea level.
Arequipa has a dry and sunny weather, very suitable for packing dried products and it is the main Peruvian city producer of amaranth, cochineal and paprika. Quinoa’s cultivation is starting in Arequipa as well with very good results. Puno City, located beside Arequipa at 3,800 m above sea level and nearby the Andes mountain chain, has the world’s largest quinoa production and in this location we have alliances with farmers to obtain the best quality quinoa grains.

STRATEGIC ALLIANCES WITH FARMERS ASSOCIATIONS
In our evolution and growing process, after the incorporation of important business partners, we have launched strategic alliances with established Peruvian farmers associations, who are cultivating Red Quinoa for us and we are providing them technical advice.
So we will have available from November 2011, 20 to 40 metric tons per month all over the year, of our own high quality Red Quinoa grains, and we are going to incorporate soon organic fields with White and Red Quinoa and we have also a good source of Amaranth.

USAID COOPERATION FOR HIGH QUALITY AND SAFETY
Aware of the importance of the safety on the cultivation of crops and the food we sell for human consumption, we have also achieved an agreement with USAID (PRA, Project for relief and reduction of poverty on the highlands of Peru) of the American Government and the main mining companies in Peru, to receive its free cooperation for the technical assistance and advice to the farmers that are working with us.
So they receive free advice from expert advisors on Quinoa cultivation , who live and work nearby their production fields , to assure that they will obtain a high quality product , that meets the International Quality Standards on pesticides residuals, and to obtain a good productivity on their fields.
