What Agrokasa does

Agrokasa (legal name Sociedad Agrícola DROKASA S.A.) is a privately held Peruvian agro-export company founded in 1995, specializing in the cultivation, packing, and international export of fresh avocado, green asparagus, table grapes, and blueberries. The company operates four fundos totaling more than 7,000 hectares across Lima, Barranca, Ica, and Pisco, and runs six packing plants with a combined throughput exceeding 700 tons per 8 hours. Its 2024 reported harvest totaled 43,326 tons across the four product categories, and finished produce is shipped to importers and distributors in over 50 countries.

Underlying operations rest on agronomic and environmental technology rather than software: a Membrane Biological Reactor (MBR) wastewater treatment plant (PTAR) in Ica — backed by a 20-year municipal wastewater reuse contract with EMAPICA signed in 2018 — supplies treated water for irrigation, enabling roughly 600 hectares of additional cultivable land in the water-scarce Ica Valley. Production is supported by drip irrigation, integrated pest management using beneficial insects and nematodes, and biological bird control via falconry. The company holds an extensive certification stack (BRC, Global GAP with SPRING/FSMA/GRASP add-ons, HACCP, SMETA, BASC, BPA, BPM) required by major export markets.

The business model is a commodity-volume agro-export operation: revenue is generated by selling fresh produce to international wholesale buyers under negotiated per-shipment or seasonal contracts, with pricing handled bilaterally rather than published. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales through a B2B contact channel ([email protected] and a country/product inquiry form), with marketing limited to a corporate website and content channels. Since 2023, Agrokasa has operated as part of Grupo HAME, one of the largest agro-industrial groups in Latin America, and in 2024 Agrícola Los Andenes was merged into the company, consolidating the group structure.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Grupo HAMEcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 January 2023In 2023, Agrokasa (along with Pacpro and Agrícola Los Andenes) was acquired in full by Grupo HAME, one of the most important agro-industrial groups in Latin America. In 2024, Agrícola Los Andenes merged with Agrokasa. This acquisition positions Agrokasa as part of a major Latin American agro-industrial group, providing capital, scale, and strategic support.
• EMAPICA (Empresa Municipal de Agua y Alcantarillado de Ica)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 26 December 2018Agrokasa won a public tender in 2018 to treat and reuse wastewater from EMAPICA for agricultural irrigation.

Direct peers

• Camposol: Peruvian agro-exporter cultivating avocados, blueberries, table grapes, asparagus and mangoes for global markets—closest direct peer to Agrokasa given shared product mix, geography (coastal Peru), export orientation, and integrated farm-to-packing model.
• Hortifrut: Chile-headquartered global berry producer and exporter (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) with vertically integrated operations across the Americas, Europe, Asia and Africa—comparable to Agrokasa on the blueberry side of its portfolio.
• Mission Produce: U.S.-listed global avocado grower-packhouse-exporter with sourcing across Peru, Mexico, California and Colombia—direct peer on the largest product line in Agrokasa's portfolio (14,406 t of avocados) and similar integrated ripening and distribution network.
• Westfalia Fruit: South Africa-headquartered global avocado supplier with multi-origin sourcing (Peru, Chile, Mexico, South Africa) and integrated packhouse operations—a direct peer on the avocado product line and global exporter model.
• Driscoll's: Global berry marketer and producer (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) operating across the Americas, Europe, Africa and Australia—a direct peer for Agrokasa's blueberry business on grower-network, varietal and certification strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Fresh Del Monte Produce: U.S.-listed multinational fresh-produce incumbent with vertically integrated global operations across fruits and vegetables—a broad incumbent offering overlapping fresh-produce export capabilities rather than competing narrowly on Agrokasa's specific Peruvian crop mix.
• Dole plc: Global fresh-produce incumbent operating across fresh fruit, vegetables and diversified value-added categories—a broad incumbent whose diversified sourcing and global distribution overlap with Agrokasa's fresh-produce export channels.
• Calavo Growers: U.S. fresh-avocado packer and distributor with Mexican and Peruvian sourcing—a broad incumbent overlapping with Agrokasa on the avocado side of the portfolio but operating at a different stage in the value chain.

Regional players

• Sociedad Exportadora Los Fiordos: Chile-based agro-exporter producing berries, salmon and dairy with diversified farming operations—regional peer operating in a similar agro-export role but with a different product mix and primary geography.

Others

• Grupo HAME (parent): Latin American agro-industrial conglomerate that owns Agrokasa along with Pacpro and Agrícola Los Andenes; included as parent/ecosystem participant rather than a direct competitor, given its corporate relationship.
