This year, the RC Show was a dynamic hybrid event with curated pavilions and hundreds of products and services offering connection opportunities to buyers and exhibiting suppliers.

To exhibit our flag product PISCO, the Embassy of Peru to Canada presented Master Distiller: Johnny Schuler, and Peruvian Cuisine Ambassador: Adolfo Perret.  But this year, we also had the great opportunity to welcome a new Peruvian distributor of Pisco, who is introducing to the Canadian market the SAPAQ Pisco Quebranta, and SAPAQ Pisco Italia.

Three new potato varieties: CIP-Poderosa Crocante, CIP-Poderosa Pollera, and CIP-Poderosa Watia will be available in the second half of the year for the Peruvian growers. These 3 varieties are the result of a project of the International Potato Center (CIP), sponsored by CONCYTEC and financed by Compañia Minera Poderosa through Law 30309, which promotes scientific research, technological development, and technological innovation.   They seek to become an export source for high-quality potatoes.

Besides, the US space agency (NASA), together with the International Potato Center (CIP), carried out a research project, part of futuristic studies on the agricultural colonization of Mars. Of the 4,500 varieties of potato that exist, the Peruvian potato nicknamed Papa Marciana de Tacna was the winner, being the only one that proved capable of surviving in extreme conditions and would be the first food grown on Mars. But it will not be until after 2030 when the idea begins to take shape.

On June 15th, join a conversation with: Senator Mary Coyle, Senator Stan Kutcher, Senator Rosa Galvez, and The Honourable Grant Mitchell.
