A discussion about the cannabis industry in Peru with president of Cann Farm – since renamed as Kumara Farms – Andrés Vázquez Vargas. Kumara Farms / Cann Farm is a highly innovative, Impact Farming company, that specializes in the cultivation and processing of a broad range of botanicals with medicinal properties. They are dedicated to cultivating and processing medicinal plants under the highest quality standards and developing from them a broad portfolio of innovative products for health and well-being. Focused on the commercialization of products derived from cannabis and other plants for medicinal use, they operate the cultivating and processing of medicinal plants, both for the Peruvian market and for export.
I first met Andres, and his partner Tony Salas in 2017 when they were focused on impact farming with experience in a broad variety of agricultural applications. Impact farming has strong social and economic benefits to farmers and their families. It also results in higher quality products that drive larger economic impacts to the community.
Kumara also invests in scientific research projects on issues related to the application of medicinal plants for health, as well as on agronomic issues aimed at optimizing their production. Local solutions, Global impact: They help people maintain optimal health and well-being in a sustainable way.
