Cooperativa Agrobosque

What Cooperativa Agrobosque does

Cooperativa Agrobosque (legal name: Cooperativa Agraria Agrobosque) is a Peruvian agricultural cooperative founded in 2013 and headquartered in Santa Rita Baja, district of Inambari, department of Madre de Dios, in the buffer zone of the Tambopata Reserve. The cooperative aggregates peasant families — described in source material as 62 socios in one account and 128 founding families in another — for the cultivation and commercialization of cocoa, with a focus on native wild (criollo) and aromatic (Trinitario) varieties grown in agroforestry systems as an economic alternative to illegal mining and logging. Its core technology is a centralized post-harvest processing operation including fermentation, drying in controlled environments, and a quality control laboratory that monitors Brix degrees, acidity, temperature, fermentation percentage, and moisture content to meet specialty chocolate standards.

The product portfolio spans raw cocoa/cacao beans (native, aromatic, CCN-51), finished chocolates under the Eori brand launched in 2019 (Bitter, Bitter con Leche, Bitter con Castaña, plus cup chocolate), and derivatives including cocoa paste, nibs, cocoa butter, coatings, husk, cocoa powder, and copoazú (Theobroma grandiflorum) blends. Revenue derives from multiple streams: one-time sales of beans, chocolate, and derivatives; professional services in training and technical assistance; and managed microcredit funds to member families. Pricing is quote-based via WhatsApp ordering, with products packaged in gram-to-kilogram units. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer WhatsApp and online catalog sales with B2B outreach through regional trade fairs such as Expo Amazónica 2024 and the Salón del Cacao virtual exhibition, alongside an experiential tourism offering.

The cooperative holds organic (KIWA N° 11491), fair trade (FLOCERT FLO ID: 39067), Biocomercio Peru, Agricultura Familiar del Peru, Conservation Allies, and SENASA sanitary certifications, supporting claims of 100% farm-to-consumer traceability. Its foundational partner is Terre des Hommes Suisse (since 2013), and it serves specialty chocolate manufacturers, international buyers, and end consumers interested in ethical Amazonian cocoa. Customers include national and international buyers reached through trade events, while end consumers purchase directly via WhatsApp contact numbers.
