The Romero Foundation from The Romero Group, the most powerful Peruvian economic group, has an impact on the regions where its companies are located. Nowadays in Cotahuasi (Arequipa) many farmers develop organic agriculture as the Organic Wheat Durum. And due the training and support of the foundation they are selling their wheat to the international market. The project, Palmas del Espino in Santa Lucia – Uchiza, a former heavily coca-growing area, achieved that many farmers leave coca to grow oil palms, and the Vicus Seed Program fostered that biologists develop a Vicus seed, that doubles the cotton farmers productivity in that area. Using the testimonies of the benefited farmers, we will be aware of the impact not only on the productivity field, but also in education, nutrition and safety areas, thanks to the work of CSR of The Romero Foundation.
