In one thread, President Petro highlighted the measures adopted by President Duque to regulate the export of meat, but he assured that it is necessary to go further and that “The fight against hunger must begin now.”
Petro, who will take office as president on August 7, also invited all owners of fertile land to produce. “If it is done, the government will accompany and protect them,” he added.
