The APT del Norte Cooperative is an organization located in the district of Pedro Gálvez, province of San Marcos, Cajamarca region, which involves producers from 5 departments of the country (Cajamarca, Amazonas, Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, in the chain of tara), involving producers through productive alliances with various communities and organizations.
We have a laboratory for the production of biological controllers to combat pests with clean methods, that is, friendly to natural resources.
The APT plays a crucial role in the promotion and marketing of tara, not only locally, but also nationally and internationally. Thanks to sustainable management and commitment to quality, the cooperative has contributed to the positioning of tara as a product of high value and demand in international markets.
In addition to its economic importance, tara also plays a significant ecological role in the region. Its sustainable cultivation and management help protect and regenerate local ecosystems, promoting the conservation of biodiversity and environmental protection.
Over the years, the APT has worked closely with local farmers to improve growing practices, increase productivity and ensure fair conditions for producers. This focus on sustainable development has contributed to the growth and prosperity of the agricultural community in San Marcos, Cajamarca, positioning the tara as a symbol of identity and progress in the region.
Our association plays a fundamental role in the tara collection and conservation process throughout northern Peru, contributing significantly to the sustainability of this key industry. We work tirelessly in collaboration with local communities to encourage responsible agricultural practices and promote the sustainable use of natural resources.
