Our senior researcher, Eduardo Zegarra, discussed on the lessons and recommendations to boost agri-food value chains, regarding the finalization of the Inclusive Agri-Food Chains promoted by the Peruvian Gastronomic Society (Apega), with support from the Multilateral Investment Fund of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB). The presentation was conducted by the Project Coordinator, Luis Ginocchio.

During his speech, Zegarra recommended the urgent reestructuring of wholesale markets: “We have a huge institutional disorder over the main issues of agriculture and commercialization”. Regarding the role of gastronomy as a development paradigm, the economist said: “The relationship between gastronomy and agriculture is more a relationship between gastronomy and territory”.
