“Peruvian limes have 25% more juice than Mexican limes”

After 10 years of experience, the agro-exporting company Sol de Olmos has become Peru’s leading garlic exporter, the third-largest in dried chilies and the fourth in limes, and it continues to aim high.

“In 2014, we started exporting bell peppers to Mexico and the following year we entered the US market.
