The needs in Peru are still large. We have roughly under 1/3 of the population living under so-called poverty line, which we of course didn’t have to do two things, generate wealth, generate richness, and then distribute this richness, this worth accordingly.

That doesn’t mean that we are actively looking for alternatives that in one case we have we should we have problems or there would be problems in one or two areas, how can we reconduct those those products. Luckily enough, Peru is basically a prime matter or commodity exporting country. We are striving to become also an exporting country of more specialised products. But right now our products can be easily reconducted in one or the other areas. Should one of these third area have a problem,” he stated.
