First-time hydroponic blueberry growers, Winners Capital Peru chose Galuku to support them to achieve their goals. Growing blueberries in a highly competitive market, the support of Galuku and quality of our products, helped Winners Capital Peru to achieve quality, competitive blueberries.

Peru is recognised as one of the number one suppliers of fresh blueberries globally, its market supported by long growing days and large expanses of plantable land. This dominance in the world blueberry market is only expected to continue, as blueberries maintain their ranking as Peru’s second most important agricultural export. This need to be a leader in this market was important to Winners Capital Peru, so they turned to Galuku to help them grow blueberries hydroponically.

Prior to growing their current blueberry crop, Winners Capital had never grown any commercial crop before. To learn the ropes, their growers spent a long time doing online sessions with the Galuku technical team. These sessions are a huge part of the success of Winners Capital’s blueberry crop today!

Being new growers meant that not only were they navigating learning a new industry and all the technical information that goes with it, but they also had to learn importing procedures for Peru. However, the strong relationship between the owner of Winners Capital and Galuku International Business Development Manager Philip Martyn meant that through open communication they were able to navigate all challenges.

The owner from Winners Capital said, “We decided to use Galuku Coco Coir System after investigating about different alternatives, and the main reason was to assure a good plant development.” For the best results for their blueberry crop, working with Galuku and using our coir and planter bags was the obvious choice.

According to the owner “the Galuku Coco Coir Easyfil system, reduces time, effort and cost in the installation of the grow bags for our blueberries. We have also seen that their Coco Coir provided our plants a good root development as well as good water and nutrients retention. Their products also offer good drainage to clear any sodium accumulation.”

After implementing Galuku specialised coir substrate with our Easyfil PlanterBag system, Winners Capital Peru experienced excellent growth and quality for their blueberry crop. According to Winners Capital owner, Galuku products, “helped our blueberries to achieve its goals of Brix, Calibre and Firmness.” Additionally, they experienced that the quality of Galuku coco coir was exceptional and once hydrated, fulfilled all the characteristics that were required to get them to their goals. The owner emphasised that the support of Galuku also made a big difference, “[Galuku] support has always being immediate. They have always gone beyond what we expected.”
