Greentech invests in Peruvian facility

French supplier Greentech has set up a new factory in Tarapoto, in northern Peru. The plant’s jungle location is closer to Greentech’s Inca inchi crops, which the company hopes will help it meet growing demand for its certified organic Inca inchi oil. Greentech also says the new plant's proximity will enable the production of new cosmetic actives extracted from Inca inchi seed cakes.

Greentech’s activities in Peru include its Omega Project, set up in collaboration with Peruvian company Agroindustrias Amazonicas in 2003, which has contributed to the economic development of producers from local villages around the plant.
