The Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) stated on Tuesday that it would cooperate with the Brazilian municipality of Santa Clara do Sul, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, and the Peruvian region of Huancavelica in organic production projects to strengthen and position organic production models.
