Amazonia Impact Ventures (AIV) has approved a new impact-linked loan for La Campiña, an organic ginger and cacao exporter based in Río Negro, Satipo, in Peru. The financing will support new export infrastructure, among other investments.

But the more telling story here isn't the investment itself, it's what the company has done with similar financing since becoming an AIV partner in 2023. La Campiña's ESG score has nearly doubled in that time, moving from 4.2 points in 2024 to 6.6 in 2026, with its environmental score more than doubling, from 3.3 to 7.3 over the same period.

Behind those numbers is a company that has treated sustainability as core business rather than a compliance exercise: it holds Demeter and regenerative good practices, runs its own tree nursery supplying forest and fruit seedlings to producers, and has organised multiple agroforestry workshops training farmers in resilient, deforestation-free production methods.

"What we look for isn't a company that meets a target once. It's one that keeps raising the bar year after year, and La Campiña has done exactly that," said Aldo Soto, AIV's Co-Founder and Managing Director.

The company works directly with more than 100 ginger and 330 cacao farming families across Satipo and Chanchamayo, and channels technical assistance and certification support straight to them. Its work with five cacao cooperatives (CASS, APLC, El Chasqui, Coopavre and Central Alta Montaña) has been structured to protect farmers from the kind of price volatility that hit the wider cacao market hard in the last two years. 

"Every certification and every hectare we help protect, it all adds up to the kind of business we want to leave behind for the next generation," said Llan Carlos Seclén, La Campiña's Manager.

Looking ahead, La Campiña has committed to expanding Demeter certification to 70 producers, formal conservation agreements against deforestation, and Naturland certification for its 338 cacao producers, all by 2030.

La Campiña's ginger and turmeric meet the standards organic buyers expect, and the company's certification record keeps growing alongside its sales. For AIV, that's the point of investing in the bioeconomy: loans that come with real commitments attached, so the forest has a reason to stay standing rather than get cleared for something more immediately profitable.
