The Sagari project: A collaboration with communities
Cocoa production
Cocoa is a very important economic resource for the communities of Porotobango and Kitepampani, in the western Peruvian Amazon. In recent years, its farmers have managed to increase the productivity of this crop to 500 kg per hectare thanks to the technification project promoted by Repsol, which has 79 beneficiaries and includes the installation and maintenance of 152 hectares of land.
How did Repsol know that these communities were growing cocoa and that their productivity could be improved?
Before acting in such a sensitive environment, Repsol decided to carry out a study to gain in-depth knowledge of the area where it would carry out the project to build an 18-kilometer pipeline between the Sagari and Kinteroni gas fields in the Machiguenga and Ashaninka communal reserves.
The conclusions of the study were taken into account in the final design of the pipeline and the location of the support infrastructure. In addition, a biodiversity plan was drawn up, with actions to reduce the impact of the project, as well as a plan for relations with the communities with initiatives to promote their sustainable development.
