Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have been fighting back by carrying out activities for our communities in order to mitigate the effects of this crisis in the region“, said Juan Luis Lazarte, Human Resources and Sustainability Manager at Hortifrut Peru.
Food baskets were also given to different institutions in the communities of La Libertad.
