The Sun as Occupational Risk in Agriculture
In the valleys of Ica, Trujillo, or Piura, UV radiation is extreme.
The uniform is not just clothing. It is PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
A technical agricultural uniform must guarantee:
- Certified UV 50+ Protection: Real blockage of harmful radiation.
- Total Coverage: Long sleeves and neck protection (legionnaire type).
- Breathability: Avoiding heat stroke in intense shifts.
- Visibility: Light or vivid colors for location in the field.
Protecting the worker is protecting harvest productivity.
Logistics for Thousands of Harvesters
Agro-export has a unique challenge: seasonal volume.
Blueberry or grape campaigns require equipping thousands of people in weeks.
What an Agro-exporter Should Demand:
- Campaign Stock: Anticipated production based on projections.
- Field Logistics: Deliveries coordinated directly in operation zones.
- Standard Sizes: Simplified patterning to facilitate mass distribution.
- Wash Resistance: Fabrics that withstand aggressive washing (soil, sap).
A stockout of uniforms cannot stop the harvest.
What Agro-industries Should Evaluate When Choosing a Provider in 2026
Evaluation Checklist:
- UV Certification: Does the fabric have a solar protection technical sheet?
- Volume Capacity: Can they deliver 5,000 kits in 30 days?
- Functional Design: Hats with real neck and ear coverage?
- Decentralized Logistics: Do they reach Olmos, Chavimochic, or Ica without problems?
- Mechanical Resistance: Does the clothing withstand friction with branches and thorns?
The field demands resistance. Your provider must be up to the task.
Conclusion
The uniform in agriculture is occupational health and logistical efficiency.
It is caring for the human capital that makes export possible.
