In today’s dynamic and conscious industry, the cocoa traceability resonates strongly. However, what does it truly mean to have traceability that not only complies but also validates every step of your cocoa’s journey, from fertile land to exquisite chocolate bar? At Machu Picchu Foods, we have gone beyond the industry standard, developing a methodology that offers unparalleled visibility and security in every bean we source.​

Transparency in business​

The global landscape of food manufacturing is evolving rapidly. Consumers and regulators, like the EUDR, increasingly demand tangible proof of ethical, sustainable, and deforestation-free sourcing. For company decision-makers, this translates into a critical need: finding a manufacturing partner who not only promises but demonstrates with irrefutable evidence the integrity of their supply chain. Superficial traceability is no longer enough; depth and verifiability are the new differentiators that build trust and mitigate risks.​

Machu Picchu Foods: Ensuring complete origin visibility.​​

Our vision at Machu Picchu Foods is clear: every chocolate must tell a story of responsibility, quality, and innovation. For this reason, we have implemented a traceability procedure that is the heart of our sustainability strategy and operational excellence. This unique system allows us to monitor and record every stage of cocoa, offering our allies a peace of mind that few can match.​

Our five-step journey: Precision from origin to final product​

We have perfected a rigorous and transparent process that spans from harvesting at the farm to processing at our factory. Each step is designed to guarantee maximum integrity:

• Geospatial data: We collect precise information from the producer and the exact farm location using advanced Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools. This allows for millimetric georeferencing and a detailed understanding of the origin terrain.​​




• Deforestation risk assessment: We meticulously analyze verified geospatial data to identify and quantify deforestation risk levels according to strictly established criteria. This proactivity is key to protecting valuable ecosystems and ensuring responsible sourcing.​​​




• Identification of eligible farms: Through a rigorous evaluation process, we select only producers and farms that meet our high sustainability criteria and ethical practices. Their data is then incorporated into our robust enterprise database.​​​​




• Purchase, segregation, and storage: Every cocoa purchase is meticulously recorded, documenting product quality and segregation. We maintain these detailed records in our database, ensuring compliance with specific quality and origin standards.​​​​​




• Transport and final processing: From the moment of acquisition, all cocoa is individually tracked via barcode. This information is documented in our Multitrace system, guaranteeing total and continuous transparency until its final processing at our modern Pisco factory.​

Beyond Compliance: A Commitment That Generates Value​

This traceability methodology goes far beyond mere adherence to regulations. It is a manifestation of our unwavering commitment to sustainable development. It allows us to:​

• Prevent deforestation: Actively contributing to biodiversity conservation.​​​




• Protect rights: Ensuring fair practices and the well-being of cocoa-growing communities.​




• Strengthen your brand: Endowing your product with a verifiable and authentic origin narrative that resonates deeply with today’s conscious consumers.​




• Mitigate risks: Offering your company the peace of mind of a robust supply chain in the face of social, environmental, and regulatory challenges.​

Building a resilient and transparent future together​​

At Machu Picchu Foods, we reaffirm our leadership by offering traceability that not only meets global expectations but exceeds them. We are convinced that a transparent and resilient supply chain is the foundation for a more ethical, fair, and sustainable cocoa industry.​
