COTTON

“Gossypium barbadense” is the scientific name of cotton grown in Peru. Pre-Inca cultures used it to make fabrics that preserve their properties to this day.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the Pima (in Piura) and Tangüis (in Ica) varieties emerged, and stand out for having the longest, thinnest and most resistant fibers in the world. Pima cotton garments have a special shine and an unsurpassed softness to the touch. For its part, Tangüis is ideal for blends with wool and other natural and artificial fibers.

ALPACA

In the case of alpaca fiber, 80% of world production is concentrated in Peru, and it is highly valued for its softness, ease of weaving, anti-allergic properties and variety in its natural shades.

Currently, specialized programs are being developed aimed with livestock producers, which focused on optimizing the breeding of alpacas as well as improving their genetic management and fiber selection.

With these developments, it is expected that the entire production process will become perfected, in order to increase the income of this population, made up mainly of Andean communities, whose income depends on this camelid.
