definitely, Peru, has enormous potential in agribusiness, especially in exotic products that do not exist in other countries. If we talk about Tara, this legume is one of those products. In 2006 the production of tara pod of Peru rose 38.9% to 24.6 thousand MT, in an environment of external requirements for products derived from this culture and higher acres harvested. Tara Exports are divided into two groups: dust and tara gum, which increased 20.8% and 103.3%, respectively. This was due to higher export volumes to a growing demand, which could not be satisfied.
Peru currently produces 85% of the world tara is the leading exporter, despite this international orders surpassed domestic production, so that he could only meet 33% of this demanda.Actualmente is still used natural harvesting of this crop, without reaching a permanent production and high quality, capable of responding to the demands of foreign markets. The high presence of small farmers with few acres of cultivation, makes their bargaining power is diminished compared to the great collectors. Some foreign marketers have begun to open offices in Peru in order to negotiate directly the product. Although the dust and tara gum are in the international market 15 years ago, the ban in the European market using lead compounds, mercury, cadmium and chromium in leather production has led to the start tara tannin have high demand.
