HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Our company GAPE PROSANCA S.A was born in 1986 with the aim of developing a new family business different from the one owned at that time, which consisted of selling shoes. She took her first steps in her grandmother’s garage with a furniture of only two tin cans divided in half and with the collaboration of only 4 employees. The first container of finished yam product was exported to Los Angeles California, United States.
Four years after starting operations, it was possible to acquire the first infrastructure (a galerón) located in Guápiles de Limón and which was used as a plant for the processing of crops. Subsequently, a market study was carried out in which the possibility of using second-quality tubers to create a new product and in this way diversify the product portfolio was carried out, this is how we incurred in the export of frozen Cassava (Cassava), which continues to be the product that most influences the development and economy of our company.
