 The president of the Exporters Association (Adex), Juan Varilias, said during the opening of the 23rd International Pepper Conference that the increased production of chillies and peppers helps boost the region's export potential.
 
According to Varillas, the main products in the capsicum basket in the first four months of 2016 were the canned products, which had exports of 34.9 million dollars, i.e. 48 percent of the sector's exports. Dried capsicum exports account for 47 percent of exports and amount to 34.2 million dollars.
 
Meanwhile, the head of INIA, Alberto Maurer, said Peru was working to improve its offer of native chillies, since it has more than 700 types. He also said producers of hot pepper and dried chillies should participate in the international market.
 
The International Pepper Conference brings together entrepreneurs, academics, researchers, and producers of chillies and peppers from various countries, such as the US, Spain, the Netherlands, Ghana, and Mexico, among others.
 
As part of the activities of the conference, Adex and INIA signed a framework agreement to establish joint cooperation and generate synergies to develop projects, programs and / or activities linked to productivity, innovation, competitiveness and agricultural sustainability, with special emphasis on promoting research, technical assistance, and transfer of technology products that can be exported.
 
The agreement was signed by the president of Adex, Juan Varilias, and the head of INIA, Alberto Maurer, who agreed that such agreements help to strengthen public-private work, which is key to increasing the competitiveness of Peruvian products.
