How to do Business with PRA Support

Quinoa Corporation Plant What do we do?

The PRA Project’s main objective is to facilitate businesses. The role of our Economic Service Centers (ESCs) is to articulate market demand with the productive potential of small producers and local entrepreneurs located in the Economic Corridors where they operate.

Why do Business with PRA Support?

Peru’s Sierra and Selva provide attractive conditions for the development of agro-industrial, livestock, handicraft, and forest products. At the same time, entrepreneurs face considerable challenges: insufficient knowledge of the area, lack of trust in the producer-company relationship, and absence of validated technologies, among others. The PRA team has more than ten years of experience tackling and overcoming such difficulties. It specializes in providing nonfinancial services aimed at one objective: get business done. Once demand is identified and a company commits to doing business, PRA facilitates the conditions to supply the market with quality products, adequately and in a timely manner.

The Economic Service Centers: your allies for doing business in Peru’s Sierra and Selva.

The Economic Service Centers (ESCs) are business promotion offices located in the Economic Corridors of the Peruvian Sierra. Their role is to provide nonfinancial services to private companies, commercialization firms, and small urban and rural producers, individual or associated, in any product or service sector. Their strategy is to use a market-oriented approach to enhance profitability and sustainability across economic activities.

What services do we offer our clients?

  • Output organization: identification of zones and producers with the necessary conditions to do business.
  • Intermediation between buyers and producers (motivate local producers to meet demand).
  • Technical assistance to clients and/or their suppliers to satisfy market conditions and increase sales volume and value.

Do we have a predetermined product portfolio?

Our work is not based on a predetermined product portfolio. The PRA supports all businesses where a company is committed to achieving growth and satisfying an identified demand.
