The VRAE is an area of such high childhood malnutrition and poverty that the government of Peru selected the VRAE to launch its [National Strategy for Growth](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Strategy_for_Growth_(Peru)&action=edit&redlink=1) program in 2007.[2] The VRAE is a major center of [coca](/source/Coca) production.[3]
