Grupo Hame has acquired Peru’s Agrokasa, the fruit and vegetable grower, for an undisclosed fee.

“We are very grateful to our shareholders and board members who had the vision and patience to continuously support us in building this wonderful success story called Agrokasa,” said Jose Antonio Castro, CEO of Agrokasa. “The future for Agrokasa and its 6,000 employees is very bright as we join the Grupo Hame family and continue to grow our business.”

Grupo Hame wrote in a statement: “We are fully convinced that in this new chapter of the history that together we begin to write, we will be able to enhance the strengths of both groups and their collaborators to reach more than what we are today.
