After great results were achieved with mandarins and avocados from Peru, San Miguel starts the 2020/2021 Peruvian grape season with great expectations. There is hope to increase production by almost 1,000 tons due to certain measures implemented by the company.
From the North of Peru, in Chepén, the San Miguel company has started the harvest of Sweet Globe®, moving forward with other premium varieties in the following weeks.
In addition to the challenges that the company had to face to continue operating during the Covid-19 pandemic, this year temperatures were lower than usual in Peru. Fortunately, the Peruvian grape season began without problems in November. “We have implemented a number of corrective measures that have allowed us to reach the harvest season having mitigated risks,” said Pablo Zócalo, Operations Manager at San Miguel in Peru.
“The fruit looks very well, with well-formed and homogeneous clusters. We have been working hard to improve quality. We have put nets to prevent birds from reaching the trees in 70% of our fields and we have finished consolidating the packing operation into a single facility within the farm with the support of a strategic partner. This allows us to accelerate transfer times, minimizing dehydration losses and maximizing the use of this crop,” continued Pablo.
