Aplex Peru

What Aplex Peru does

Aplex Peru is a privately held B2B agricultural commodity exporter founded in 2005 and headquartered at Av. Del Pinar 106, Of. 903, Chacarilla, Lima, Peru. The company acts as a supplier, processor, and trading partner, overseeing the full export chain from raw-material reception at Peruvian farms through production and packing to final international destination. Its product portfolio covers two categories: Andean grains (quinoa in white, red, and black varieties; kaniwa/baby quinoa; amaranth/kiwicha; and black chia) and pulses/beans (black eye, baby and large lima, pigeon pea, val, yellow, fava, redondo, green mung, and canellini). Items are offered in both organic and conventional grades and in bulk (25 kg) and retail (500 g) pack formats, with HS-coded documentation for international shipment.

The company operates decentralized processing facilities located near growing areas that are GMP and HACCP compliant with end-to-end traceability systems. Sourcing relies on regional grower partnerships throughout Peru, and an organic certification program for quinoa is delivered through a local NGO partnership in the Puno region that combines technical agricultural support with food safety, nutrition, and education programs. The technological and compliance stack is oriented toward food-safety and traceability rather than proprietary software or data products.

Aplex Peru monetizes through one-off, quote-based B2B export contracts with international importers and distributors; pricing is not publicly disclosed and depends on product specification, volume, and destination. Distribution is direct, with the company managing logistics and customs documentation to the buyer's destination. Marketing is limited to a product website and direct B2B engagement; the company does not advertise named end customers. There is no evidence of public listing, institutional investment, or M&A activity, and the firm appears to be founder/management-owned and independently operated.

• Quinoa Corporation: Specialized exporter and supplier of quinoa and Andean grains with comparable B2B go-to-market, supplying food manufacturers and distributors globally with both conventional and organic product.
• Complejo Industrial y Tecnológico Yanapai: Peruvian-based quinoa and Andean grain processor/exporter working directly with smallholder farmers in Puno, with a comparable model of sourcing, processing, and exporting organic Andean grains to international buyers.
