Our History
On November 16th, 2014, the Asociación de Productores Agroecológicos y Orgánicos Nuevo Pozuzo (APRONOP) was established. The association was initially established in the Nuevo Pozuzo region of Satipo-Rio Tambo in response to the need to implement more sustainable agricultural practices. Enhancing crop quality, protecting the environment, and providing a competitive substitute for traditional agricultural production techniques were the main goals.
Expansion and Certification (2017-2019): As APRONOP became more established, the association began working on obtaining organic certifications for its products. In order to make sure that production techniques adhered to international organic farming standards, this process involved the implementation of strict standards and audits.
Development (2019): We are seeing the addition of three new native communities to our organization: Shawari, Shanqui, and Chochoquiari. Since 35 indigenous families began growing coffee, they have produced up to 825 quintals of green coffee a year. (Eighty-five Ha.) Our Association is still working to address the difficulties that come with mutual integration, including language, culture, and distance.
Innovation and Sustainability (2023-2024): Over the past few years, APRONOP has persisted in innovating and adjusting to shifts in the market and community demands. The association uses digital tools for crop management and soil health monitoring, among other new technologies integrated into agricultural practices.
