Ricardo Polis is an industrial engineer, who, for 30 years, has been linked to agriculture, dealing with different areas of the food chain. He was general manager of the Consortium of Fruit Products (CPF), of Agrícola Hoja Redonda and Bodega Viñas de Oro, he was also president of Procitrus, and of the Association of Agricultural Producers Guilds of Peru (AGAP). Now, he is warning of Peru's challenges in the blueberry industry
“The challenge for Peru is that we have to think about varietal replacement. More cost efficient productive varieties should be sought. That they offer a fruit of greater caliber, that is attractive and more efficient when harvesting it. Also promote greater firmness over time and a better combination of acidity - brix to offer a better consumption experience "
Polis is emphatic in warning that the windows that Peru enjoyed in the world market are over and that prices have been adjusted, so "it is in this reality that we must plan."
