This expo was is a good opportunity to present Peruvian products such as passion fruit juices, mango, quinoa, kiwicha, pastas, chili sauce, dehydrated chilies, tamales, rice with canned beans and of course “chicha morada” (the typical beverage, made of boiled purple corn).
The participating companies were: Gloria, Alisur, AGN Inversiones, Chef Natural and Turmanye Foods.
