Our suppliers
SUNSHINE
works with more than 300 mango producers
entirely in the valleys of San Lorenzo,
Cieneguillo and Alto Piura (Piura); the
valleys of Motupe and Olmos (Lambayeque)
and Casma (Ancash). We have the strength
of working with large, medium and small
sized producers. In all cases we offer technical
assistance and a constant monitoring of
the health of the cultivation.
We perform an important social role when
connecting small producers to the market,
because they do not have the capital to
maintain their cultivation in good conditions
of health and productivity. SUNSHINE offers
them financing of the inputs at market prices
in addition to the technical assistance
that enables the small farmer to achieve
a harvest of excellent quality.
