In this way, it was announced by the head of Culture of Cali, Ronald Mayorga, who met with the director of the festival, Ana Copete, and exponents of Colombian Pacific cuisine.

“We dream of an oxygenated and different Petronio with an exercise in creativity and innovation, and that implies thinking that the sample of traditional kitchens has new components and actions. That is why We have made important decisions and it is that Petronio says goodbye to plastic and Styrofoam. This as an exercise of responsibility with the planet and pedagogy towards the entire country,” said the official.

“We will continue to hold these meetings with the other sectors that participate in the festival,” he added.
