Merly León has been part of Aromas del Valle since the cooperative’s early years, representing a new generation of producers from the district of Callayuc, Cutervo. Merly’s curiosity drives her to experiment with new cultivars and techniques, leading to steady gains in quality each season.
Aromas del Valle, led by Iván Cruz Rivera and receiving support from the Progreso Foundation, integrates agronomic, financial, and social programs to strengthen its young member base. Alongside investments in quality and infrastructure the cooperative runs the Mestiza project to empower women farmers and weave social equity into its model of
agricultural progress.
