In the fourth episode of our series The Future of Responsible Trade, we continue our journey into the heart of fair trade by connecting with inspiring leaders who are shaping sustainable futures for their communities. This time, we travel to Peru, South America to speak to Sugel Chavez the project coordinator at Raymisa.

Sugel Chavez works as the project coordinator at Raymisa and is a member of the regional board of WFTO – LA. With experience in Project and Sustainability Coordination, she coordinates projects developed by Raymisa in collaboration with artisan producers. Through her work, she has become actively involved in the fair trade movement, where she has discovered that ethical business practices are not only possible but are fundamentally rooted in the work with producers.

Raymisa is a leading producer and exporter of handcrafted products and high-quality alpaca garments. They offer a wide selection of handmade goods for the home and everyday living. Raymisa aims to preserve and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Peru through their unique products. Their mission is to create high-quality handcrafted items that reflect the skills of the  artisans and the richness of their culture.
