Zegarra also expressed gratitude for Indonesia's commitment to streamlining processes and procedures, enabling blueberry exports from Peru to Indonesia.
"Thank you, Mr. President, for your willingness. This has streamlined the process and procedures, and now, we can say that Peruvian blueberries have become a reality in Indonesia," she stated.
