SUCCESS STORY

Helping Naturagro bring the flavors of Peru to Europe

The Challenge
Naturagro SA, a Peruvian agricultural products company, expanded beyond local markets into European fresh produce exports after trade fairs in Madrid led to its first client in Barcelona, opening access to Spain and Portugal. The move brought new challenges, including the absence of standards for packaging, transport and container efficiency. Sweet potatoes added complexity due to their irregular shape and sensitivity to cold, requiring precise control of temperature, humidity and ventilation during long shipments.

The Approach
Naturagro developed a custom packaging and logistics solution tailored to fresh sweet potatoes, drawing on its agricultural expertise. The 780-gram package holds 6 kilograms, supports stacking up to 16 levels and complies with international standards. Using its PackExpert tool, the company calculated the required packaging strength for 20 to 23 days of transport at 15 C and 80% to 85% humidity, helping preserve product quality throughout transit.

The Result
The final solution was delivered as pre-assembled boxes ready for immediate use, reducing assembly time and labor costs. With the optimized packaging, Naturagro completed its first exports of fresh sweet potatoes to Europe, establishing a new business line with growth potential. Three containers were shipped in the initial months, validating the solution and generating high customer satisfaction, with the Barcelona client confirming orders for 15 additional containers and plans for continued expansion.
