What Ecosac does

Ecosac Agrícola SAC is a privately-held Peruvian agroindustrial and aquaculture company founded in 2001, headquartered in Castilla, Piura. It cultivates, processes, and exports fresh table grapes (16+ varieties), avocados, Tahiti limes, canned peppers and tropical fruits, IQF frozen fruits and vegetables, and hydrobiological products including white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) and scallops (Argopecten purpuratus). The company operates an integrated production system spanning 1,400 hectares of agricultural land and 500 hectares of shrimp ponds, supported by processing facilities with daily capacities exceeding 220 tons for both canning and shrimp processing. Its technology stack includes IQF freezing, technified drip and pivot irrigation, industrial and domestic wastewater treatment plants (PTARI/PTARD), and Peru's first operational shrimp larvae laboratory using Hawaii-sourced genetics.

The company generates revenue through one-time export sales across four product lines — fresh produce, preserved/canned, IQF frozen, and hydrobiological — distributed via direct B2B relationships with international importers, distributors, retail chains, and food service operators in 30+ countries across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Pricing is established through commercial negotiation rather than public disclosure. Ecosac maintains a comprehensive portfolio of international certifications (BRC, HACCP, Kosher, Global GAP, Tesco Nurture, Albert Heijn, Non-GMO, BAP, GRASP, SMETA, BASC, OEA, ISO 14001) to access premium retail and food service channels. Its larvae laboratory also supplies pathogen-free shrimp larvae to five other Peruvian aquaculture companies, creating a secondary B2B revenue stream. The company employs 5,001–10,000 staff, scaling to 7,700+ during peak agricultural seasons.
