translated from Spanish: Quinoa with spindle and carrot infusion: Tarapacá’s entrepreneurial betting

The Peasant Market of the Tarapacá Region was transformed in a large display case for a score of entrepreneurs from the communes of Pica, Camiña, Huara, Pozo Almonte and Colchane.
The quinoa with smell was one of the most striking products of the fair. María Vilca noted that she sold large quantities of the innovative drink that causes a furore in each fair in which she participates: “People like to have enough of my product and on this occasion I did super well,” said the peasant of Pozo Almonte safeguarding her recipe.
In addition, products such as carrot infusion, medicinal herbs, garlic extract oil and seasonal vegetables and fruits offered by agroproducers could be found.
Jacinto Juyumaya also scored cheerful beads with her carrot infusion, 100% natural and very tea-like. Cuisama’s producer, in the commune of Camiña, sold absolutely all the cargo he carried.
Also from Huaviña, inside the commune of Huara, Angelica Alvarez offered her dehydrated quinces and medicinal weeds and was happy with the sales. He also stressed that the marketing space was very well chosen, “because they have other types of products and we are not competition”.
These entrepreneurs were invited by the agricultural terminal directory, so that they could know what the small producers of Tamarugal do.
Fernando Chiffelle, seremi of Agriculture, highlighted the contribution of the users of Indap, “a desert and tradition agriculture”, while highlighting the presence of products that are not found in other spaces.
