Delegation in Peru

Taro, also known as malanga in some Latin American countries, has been key lately to diversify the agriculture of this island country.

In Peru, approximately 100,000 families participate in cocoa production, which in 2021 generated exports worth USD 300 million.

The main goal of the debates is to forge alliances in the fight against hunger and malnutrition. The event is attended by government officials, private sector representatives, international organizations, agricultural producers, academics, scientists, educators and students.

En alrededor de 15 minutos, cada capítulo del podcast rescatará temas y elementos informativos con una dinámica renovada, voces diversas y acciones relevantes para la actividad agropecuaria y la vida rural. 

Physics, biology and IT professionals won the 2021 Rural Youth Hackathon organized by IICA for this purpose.
