Abstract

In addition to agribusiness companies’ individual efforts in the FFV export industry, joint actions in industrial clusters were critical to the development of the industry. With the increase of the FFV exports, the actors in the coastal regions in Peru, especially those in the capital city of Lima, began to form a cluster. The nuclei of the cluster were industry associations of producers and exporters organized around export crops. The joint actions of these associations were critical to the development of the industry. With these joint actions, agribusiness companies were able to achieve what would not have been possible individually. The achievements include joint purchase of inputs, transfer of knowledge regarding new technologies through seminars and training, joint marketing, and building infrastructure for the industry. These joint actions mobilized resources in the private sector to build public goods such as a phytosanitary capacity for exports. This mobilization allowed the companies to access new markets.
