Maca, the Peruvian superfood good for consumer and farmer

For centuries, maca, a tuberous plant, has been eaten by Peruvians. This highly nutritious product grows at 4,000 meters in the Peruvian Andes and is still picked by hand. For several years, maca, especially in powder form, has also been very popular in North America and Europe.

The more demand for Peruvian maca, the better for the farmer! However, it is very important here that the farmland is well managed so that farmers can enjoy it for centuries to come. Land in the Andes is fragile and should be used carefully as agricultural land. This is taken care of dried in our organic maca value chain with a clear plan for all farmers and their products. With guidance, training and many contact moments, top quality organic maca powder is ensured.
