Eduardo Zegarra in the regional newspaper El Búho: the Peruvian agriculture situation

“We have a technological challenge to develop better food. Peru produces high quality food. Our family farming has the capacity to produce quite nutritious food, but its productivity is low. In many cases, producers have to take refuge in low value-added products and low income generation. We have to break this trap of low productivity and poverty in order to substantially improve the income of our producers”.

Eduardo Zegarra, senior researcher at GRADE, spoke to the the digital newspaper El Búho about the agricultural situation in Peru.
