Quinoa is now exported through Amazon Mexico in the form of a “snack”

Amazon Mexico becomes a hosting platform for the first time snacks of the Ecuadorian brand Cereales Andinos. Users who access the platform will have access to four products whose main ingredient is quinoa, and a self-service channel is also planned soon.

With this foray into the Mexican digital market, expected sales are around $5,000 next quarter, according to brand manager Viviana Vitera.

The Ecuadorian guinea pig crosses over to the United States, where it is found on hangers and farms for prices ranging from $23.99 to $60

“Since this is a new and little-known product, we know that rotation will be slow at first, with sales of approximately $5,000 in the next quarter. However, we know that once consumers try our flavors, we will be able to expand into new distribution channels with higher projections,” he told this newspaper.

This is the first time they are on the Amazon platform for Mexico and also the first experience in this market. “We are very happy to see the realization of the dream we started together with ProEcuador more than a year ago. “We’ve worked hard to bring our products to Mexico and we know our unique flavors will captivate their palates,” he says.

And the products that are available on Amazon Mexico are:

For now, only these four products are online, but they are already working with new Mexican distributors to improve the self-service channel, Viteri says.

5 percent of the total production will be allocated to that platform, since the main focus of the brand – he notes – has always been the national market. “We base our strategy on national growth before entering into exports,” he claims.

In addition to Mexico, according to the manager, they currently send products to Panama, Chile and the USA under the Cereales Andinos brand, and they also have industrial client channels in Colombia and Guatemala.

Through the X account (formerly Twitter), ProEcuador announced that, in addition to Andean Cereals, Dicorne products are also available on Amazon Mexico.

“Ecuadorian companies are coming to Amazon Mexico! Cereals from corn and quinoa, snacks quinoa, rice and chia and roasted corn are products offered on this platform by Dicorne and @cerealesandinos thanks to the support of the @ProEcuador commercial office,” he announced on the social network.

Free-range eggs, dairy products, sauces and saucesExcept snacks, are the products they offer, according to the Dicorne website, which states about the latter: “Ecuador has unique products that must be marketed nationally and internationally. We emphasize snacks Andean that have very high properties and are considered superfoods for their nutritional contributions. Currently Dicorne has snack Andean chulpi and snack “chocho vegetables.”
