About us
Pioneers in oyster mushroom cultivation in Peru
Willka Perú S.A.C. is a mushroom production and distribution company based in Lima. We have been growing oyster mushrooms commercially since 2011, operating our own outdoor cultivation facility in Lurín and a spawn laboratory in Lima.Our operation covers the full cycle — strain selection, substrate preparation, cultivation and fresh delivery. When we started in 2011, oyster mushrooms were largely unknown to Peruvian consumers. Today Willka is present in every major national supermarket chain and supplies restaurants across Lima.
What we produce
Fresh oyster mushrooms, year-round
We grow Pleurotus ostreatus at our outdoor facility in Lurín, south of Lima, producing consistently through both the Peruvian summer and winter. Our own laboratory in Surquillo handles strain selection and spawn production, which gives us control over quality from the first stage of the cycle.Willka supplies fresh mushrooms in retail and foodservice formats to national supermarket chains across Peru, and delivers directly to restaurants in Lima.
Sourcing & partnerships
Bringing mushroom products into South America
Willka imports and distributes mushroom-related products for the Peruvian market. We are actively sourcing cultivation equipment, climate-controlled growing systems, laboratory equipment, packaging, mushroom extracts and mushroom-based functional foods — gummies, beverages and instant powders.We work with manufacturers on OEM and private label arrangements, and on bulk supply for processing in Peru. Peru is a market of 34 million people with growing demand for functional foods, and with the Chancay Port now operating as the direct maritime link between Asia and South America, shipping times have dropped significantly.
Why Peru
An open market
Peru is a market of 34 million people where demand for mushrooms and functional foods is growing fast, and where Asian suppliers still have very limited presence. We know this market because we built our category in it.With the Chancay Port now operating as the direct maritime link between Asia and South America, shipping times from China have dropped significantly. Willka is positioned to bring products into Peru and move them through established retail and foodservice channels.
How we work
Built on our own production
Everything we import has to work in our own operation first. We test equipment on our own production line and evaluate products against the market we already serve. That is the difference between us and a trading intermediary: we know what works in Peru because we run it ourselves.
"We are not looking for products to resell. We are looking for manufacturers to build a category with, the same way we built ours."
