The COVID-19 pandemic has forced countries to improve their production chains, as well as the industrialization and commercialization of food products, mainly agricultural ones, thus favoring their economies, and Peru is not exempt from this, which cements its position as food supplier worldwide.
According to Amaro, the agro-export sector in the South American nation is working to be considered an essential part of the food supply chain.
"This is significant, as agriculture, agribusiness and exports are considered essential sectors worldwide. The entire chain is working to supply both local and international markets," he stated.
In conclusion, this has been a very difficult situation, especially during the first days. "What matters now is that we can gradually overcome it, with the support of different government agencies, which are working to ensure the continuity of the food supply chain," he added.
"We can see that the operation of ports and some airports, as well as the logistics that allowed us to continue exporting have been maintained," the official commented.
