on Saturday held a meeting with farmers from Ayacucho region —within the framework of Farmers' Day.
The event took place in Sachabamba population center, Chiara district, Huamanga Province, in the aforementioned region.
This date has its origin in a Catholic tradition as it coincides with the day of Saint John the Baptist, considered the patron saint of farmers.
Besides, June 24 is the beginning of the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere —a period that favors the fertility of land and crops.
