“Back again this year we are holding a Mangenta competition. I hope that our tradition can be developed into culinary products that can be liked by modern society today, including young people. As we can see today, the participants are elderly (old, red) and there are still not many young people,” he said, Friday (26/5/2023).
“This situation is really worrying. But in the future it can be used as an evaluation, so that this competition can be liked by young people,” he added.
