Peru takes a grip

This may not be the peak of the recognised Peruvian asparagus season. In fact, it is a traditional downtime for one of the few products that is in production 52 weeks a year. But it is available in large volumes as the Peruvian summer looms and the microclimate in Peru’s production centres allows growers to maintain a consistent quality and volume throughout the year. Tommy Leighton talks to Philippe Augier, md of importer Midifruit about the future of the Peruvian industry.
