Tsiriari

Originating from a remote area within the VRAE region in Peru's Southern jungle, the Tsiriari is one of a kind. The 'Cooperativa de Mujeres Emprendedoras Warmi Tsinani" (translates roughly to Women Entrepreneurs Cooperative, of whom all 14 active members are women) has been working since 2010 on its 25-hectare cacao plantation.

This cooperative has emphasized diversity by partner planting crops such as coffee, banana and ginger. Our supplier Amazon Specialties is adamant that the best way to bring harmony to the environment is with diversity, and the best way to bring sustainable income for the farmers and homeostasis to the environment is with multi-crop farming.

Utilising aromatic criollos and gaining support from government investment, the Tsirlari farmers are bringing harmony to their environment and turning around a past of dangerous but legal cocoa plantations.
