Trading Ventures was formed as an offshoot of Grupo ITV Peru specifically to export products from the artisanal groups that cannot do this themselves either because of their location or because they do not have trained personnel who can manage the more complicated export documents. As we have considerable expertise in managing exports we have been able to access tax benefits and incorporate them into our pricing, thus being able to give a competitive price for special handmade articles whilst also paying top price to the artisans themselves.
Through Trading Ventures we are able to give back to the Peruvian communities by promoting and supporting talented individuals and groups of artisans throughout Peru. We achieve this by providing them with the tools and opportunities to produce quality items designed by our clients, letting them use their skills to improve their lifestyle. All of the communities that we collaborate with have specific, individual, indigenous techniques, which have been passed down through the generations. We tap into these core skills and combine them with the modern designs of our clients in order to deliver the unique high-quality end products that our clients are looking for.
We have always been governed by fair trade ideals and principles and are are officially Fair Trade Certified as from 2020 and continuing with monthly capacitions and talks with our team ,our suppliers and the community surrounding us .
We need our suppliers clients to be part of this process also and we sending out newsletters 2 or 3 times a year detailing our progress and documenting all the activities and training programs we are initiating .
