Peruvian cocoa is recognized worldwide for its quality and diversity, but its value goes far beyond the export market. Every cocoa bean carries a story: the fertile lands that nurture it, the biodiversity that surrounds it, and the cultures that have cultivated it for generations.​

However, behind this richness lies a challenge. Agricultural expansion can threaten protected natural areas and Indigenous territories, spaces where nature and cultural heritage are invaluable. Protecting them is not just a responsibility—it is a fundamental condition for truly sustainable cocoa.​

Technology serving sustainability: traceability and geospatial analysis​

At Machu Picchu Foods, we have implemented a robust traceability and geospatial analysis system that allows us to precisely identify the origin of each cocoa lot.​

How do we do it?​

• We use satellite imagery and official databases to map protected areas and Indigenous territories.​
• We ensure our sourcing zones strictly comply with regulations and respect the boundaries established by law.​
• We guarantee a deforestation-free cocoa supply, protecting both biodiversity and cultural heritage.​​

This approach combines technological innovation with social and environmental commitment, ensuring that every step in our value chain honors the communities and the nature that make cocoa possible.​

Beyond cocoa: real value and trust​​

This system is a tangible manifestation of our commitment to sustainable development:​

• Prevents deforestation and promotes the conservation of ecosystems.​​​
• Protects the rights of farming communities.​​​​​​​
• Strengthens brand value through verifiable origin stories.​
• Mitigates reputational and regulatory risks, providing peace of mind to our partners.

More than flavor: a commitment to the future​

Peruvian cocoa should not only stand out for its aroma and taste, but also for the story of respect and sustainability behind every bean.​

​At Machu Picchu Foods, we reaffirm this commitment every day and invite our allies, clients, institutions, and consumers to join this vision: cocoa with respect, where origin and culture are just as important as the final product.​

Because protecting the origin means protecting the future.​
