Mango crisis in the north of Peru. Interview to Eduardo Zegarra in Surco Norteño

“There has not been a problem of overproduction, but the mango production we have has entered to compete at an inappropriate time. These are disorders that have to do with the phenological cycle and temperature, announced by Senamhi.
