Lastly, Evangelista said that thanks to this project training would be offered to the textile chain cluster in an effort to reach international standards, and place production through Altromercado's 130 member associations and cooperatives which manage 350 World Shops in Italy and three other countries. Italy is a country with immense experience and leadership in the textile-clothing-fashion sector with the ideal knowledge and experience for a project of this nature, as well as offering an important market for Peruvian products.
Altromercato is the largest fair trade organization in Italy and second in the world promoting responsible and solidarity consumption. It is currently a national and international thematic guide for creating and executing solidarity economy initiatives for the autonomous development of peoples, farmers and artisans, especially in the South. The members of the non-profit consortium are active in fair trade and combating inequalities between North and South.
