PACIFIC FRUIT

What PACIFIC FRUIT does

Pacific Fruit (legal name: ASEPTIC PERUVIAN FRUIT S.A.) is a Lima, Peru-based privately held food processor founded in 2015 by the Larco and Del Busto families. The company produces 100% natural fruit purées and NFC (Not From Concentrate) juices targeting two commercial segments: the HORECA channel (hotels, restaurants, cocktail bars, pastry shops, ice cream shops, and catering companies) supplied via standardized 1kg, 3kg, and 5kg formats, and industrial food manufacturers supplied via bulk quantities across 18+ fruit varieties including Peruvian super-fruits such as camu-camu, aguaymanto, and lúcuma. A direct-to-consumer storefront at pacificfruitperu.com supplements the B2B model, with free shipping on orders over S/. 100 and a 10% welcome discount code for new customers.

The company's core technology is aseptic processing and packaging, which preserves fruit without added sugar or preservatives and enables extended shelf life — a key functional requirement for professional culinary and industrial customers. Pacific Fruit sources raw material directly from farmers across seven distinct Andean regions of Peru, each selected for fruit-specific microclimates, and operates a Shared Value Plan that donates seedlings of passion fruit, lúcuma, and mango to partner farmers to secure long-term supply. The company has been an active participant in the Mesa de Frutas para la Industria since 2022 in alliance with INIA, co-developing a new yellow maracuyá criolla passion fruit variety expected for distribution in 2026. The multilingual website (Spanish, English, Italian) and a trader/distributor channel indicate an export-oriented commercial posture, with Pacific Fruit ranked among the top four passion fruit (maracuyá) exporters in Peru at roughly 1,200 tonnes of passion fruit juice exported annually.
