NO The production of coffee and cocoa features strongly in Latin America’s agri-food industry, which covers an extensive value chain of very different businesses. Peru is no exception, and one Lima-based company, IMSA, has been navigating the big challenges of the sector since 2001. It manufactures machinery for its customers in Peru and the Americas, who then process the coffee and cocoa beans. But for IMSA, growth has been hampered by waste, insufficient plant capacity, high energy consumption and constrained domestic markets. Fortunately, the Eco-innovation Project guided IMSA towards new success.
