Cocoa is one of the most important agricultural products worldwide and Peru is one of the main countries of origin of the crop, possessing 60% of the world's cocoa varieties, according to Sierra Exportadora (2021). In recent years, the country has remained in eighth place in world cocoa exports and its main market has been the European Union, according to Sunat (2021). The present research aims to analyze whether there is a relationship between UTZ certification and the export performance of Peruvian companies in the cocoa sector in the period 2018 - 2020. For this purpose, the dimensions of the variable “UTZ Certification“ have been considered as (i) Best agricultural practices, (ii) working conditions and (iii) care for the environment and in the second variable “Export Performance“, it was chosen to include (i) Export Intensity, (ii) export sales growth and (iii) export sales volume. The research used a mixed approach, with a descriptive-correlational design. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 experts and a survey was prepared and validated by 3 industry experts and answered by 27 agents of interest representing 74% of the research population; these were processed in the SPSS program under the Rho Spearman correlational analysis. With this, it was validated that UTZ certification does relate to the export performance of cocoa companies in the period 2018-2020.
