German Abregu, head of Adex's board of beans and other grains, said that Peru exported Andean grains worth US$ 34.2 million, accounting for 90 percent of total exports.
"This growth in exports has been driven by the increase in quinoa price and demand," Abregu said during the launch of the First Convention of Andean Grains.
Following Zimbabwe's last election, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) received a diary describing what it was like to live with record hyperinflation.
"I distinctly recall buying 12 loaves of bread in Messina, the South African town bordering Zimbabwe, and how good it felt to eat it back in Harare. Now I have the choice of white, brown, whole-wheat, rye, brioche, garlic, flat breads… Life has changed," explained the author of the diary, a professional living and working in the capital, Harare.
