A project in Tacna, Peru, aims to export over 5,000 tons of pumpkin in a year, with the first export expected to be over 40 tons to Chile. The project, which costs 3.997 million soles and benefits 344 farmers, provides technical assistance and promotes cucurbit crops. Part of the funds will be used to value 150 hectares of crops. The project will also provide training to 30 producers from Curibaya in August.
