Agriculture | 19 November, 2008 [ 11:42 ]
In a press conference held Tuesday at the International Media Center (IMC) in Lima, Peruvian Agriculture Minister Carlos Muñoz Leyton highlighted the rich biodiversity that Peru has to offer.
Minister Muñoz Leyton noted the growth of Peru's agriculture sector and the importance of the potato in providing food security and alleviating poverty.
"Peru produces an average of 3.2 million tons of potatoes, which are cultivated by about 600,000 producers, mostly in the high Andean zones, that is, we have a production potential to meet both domestic and foreign market demands," he said.
Similarly, the director of the International Potato Center, Pamela Anderson, said that the potato is the third basic food consumed by people worldwide, after rice and wheat.
"Our ongoing goal is to promote the research and conservation of potato varieties in the world, especially in Peru, to ensure food security of the population," she said.
