A great opportunity
President Adex said that he asked the mayor of New York to consider Peruvian products in the healthy projects he has been promoting in the city for years with the aim of maintaining the food security of his citizens.

Healthy nutrition
As reported by Adex, in 2022 the mayor signed two executive orders to promote healthier nutrition. The first measure seeks to invest part of the taxes to study better nutrition in schools and public hospitals, nurseries, hospitals, centers and prisons for juvenile detention.
