2017 WEConnect International Photo Contest Winner: Mayra Ortiz from Inkanto Natural

Mayra Ortiz, Inkanto Natural: At the MISTURA Trade Show in Peru
Inkanto Natural is a WEConnect International Certified WBE based out of Lima, Peru. With a little bit of magic and a lot of pride, Inkanto transforms the richness of Peruvian natural products into a natural fruit liquor that reflects the country’s biodiversity while promoting sustainable, local agriculture.

What makes your business unique?

ENG – We provide a different value in the artisan liquor sector. We saw that in the coast part of the country, the grape is more used to make liqueurs. We decided to take advantage of a greater variety of Peruvian fruits produced in regions further away from the Andean zone and the Amazon, and make liqueurs with them. We promise to give you variety, flavor, exotic sensations, diversity and contribute to the development and promotion of the crops of our vast territory. Our suppliers are direct farmers and, if we grow, we do it with them.

SPA – Aportamos una propuesta de valor diferente en el rubro de licores artesanales. Al ver que en nuestro país se aprovecha más la uva para hacer licores y esta se da en la Costa, decidimos aprovechar una mayor variedad de frutos peruanos que se producen en regiones más alejadas de la zona Andina y de la Amazonía y también hacer licores con ellos. Tenemos la promesa de darte variedad, sabor, sensaciones exóticas, diversidad y contribuir al desarrollo y promoción de los cultivos de nuestro extenso territorio. Nuestros proveedores son agricultores directos y si nosotros crecemos, lo hacemos de la mano de ellos.

Why did you decide to receive certification through WEConnect International?

ENG – Because I found an excellent broadcast platform with opportunities, support, collaborative learning and work, that would contribute to the development of my personal goals and my company.

SPA – Porque me pareció una excelente plataforma de difusión, de oportunidades, de apoyo, de aprendizaje y de trabajo colaborativo que iba a contribuir en el desarrollo de mis objetivos personales y de mi empresa.

What inspires you as a business owner?

ENG – I am inspired to be an agent of change, to know that I am doing something positive for myself, for my environment, for my country. Being part of a value chain to move the economy from a small scale to infinity.

SPA – Me inspira ser agente de cambio, saber que estoy haciendo algo positivo para mí misma, para mi entorno, para mi país. Ser parte de una cadena de valor para mover la economía desde una pequeña escala hasta el infinito.
