El Ministerio de Agricultura (Minag) señaló hoy que casi el 92 por ciento de la papa peruana se consume en el mercado nacional, y el resto se exporta, dado que la demanda del tubérculo se ha fortalecido en los últimos años.
“El mercado nacional es fuerte, pues consume casi el 92 por ciento de la producción de la papa, que se está incrementando debido a las campañas de promoción del tubérculo”, indicó el especialista de la Cadena de Papa de la Dirección General de Competitividad Agraria del Minag, Miguel Quevedo.
Asimismo, mencionó que esta tendencia creciente del consumo de la papa se refleja en el desempeño del consumo por persona.
