Agromercado, a unit of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) of Peru, has facilitated the export of 25 tons of high-quality cocoa beans from the Agrarian Cooperative of Multiple Services South East (COOPSSUR East) to Belgium. The cocoa, variety VRAE 99 and VRAE 15, was ordered by a Belgian company specializing in the processing and commercialization of cocoa paste and butter.

This support included guidance through the Fair Trade certification process, which COOPSSUR Oriente is expected to complete in 2024.
