The World Bank Group’s fertilizer index is projected to increase by 31 percent (y/y) in 2026, before easing somewhat in 2027. (Banco Mundial, 2026).

It is estimated that the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz will have an impact on inflation of 0.4 percentage points due to increased costs of freight, fertilizers, petrochemicals, among others. (Central Reserve Bank of Peru, 2026).

Fertilizer shipments from the Persian Gulf have remained non-existent or virtually non-existent, with a seven-day moving average virtually unchanged (zero in the last two weeks of June 2026) and no clear recovery at the end of the month, even after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding regarding the conflict in the region. (World Trade Organization, 2026)

The project finances the company's investment plan to develop 562 additional hectares of agricultural plantations, modernize its industrial processes, and partially refinance its bank debt. It responds to the sustained growth of Peruvian agricultural exports to the United States and the European Union, whose expansion is constrained by raw material supply. It aims to expand production and improve quality to compete in new markets, including Asia.

It aims to improve trade facilitation and logistics at Guyana's borders with Brazil (Lethem-Bomfim crossing) and Suriname, through the development of conceptual border crossing designs and support for bilateral trade negotiations. The initiative comprises four components: a technical note for trade policy negotiations, policy dialogue and knowledge dissemination activities, conceptual designs for both border crossings, and overall technical coordination. The project contributes to reducing tariff and non-tariff barriers that constrain intraregional agri-food trade, in line with the CARICOM strategy to cut the regional food import bill by 25% by 2025.

The CARICOM E-Agriculture Strategy is a key component of the flagship 25x2025+5 initiative, aimed at modernizing the regional agricultural sector through digital innovation, including artificial intelligence, mobile platforms, and smart farming tools to boost productivity, strengthen climate resilience, and expand market access. The strategy is built on six pillars: rural connectivity, precision agriculture, digital financial services, digital skills, e-commerce, and policy and governance frameworks. It focuses specifically on youth, women, and agri-entrepreneurs, seeking to position agriculture as a modern, innovative, and attractive sector across the Caribbean region.

The White House announced that the President of the United States declared an emergency and authorized the temporary suspension of certain anti-dumping and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer imported from Morocco, for eight months or until the emergency is terminated, to help ensure fertilizer supplies for domestic agricultural demand.

Promotes the industrialization of potato cultivation in Peru to diversify the range of derived products, boost exports and improve profitability for potato producers. It tasks the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation with providing technical assistance on production quality, technification and processing, and with promoting certified seed use through Senasa. The law also provides for mass outreach campaigns encouraging domestic and international consumption of Peruvian potatoes, along with the promotion of public or private financing programs, coordinated with regional and local governments, to support industrialization.

The resolution establishes the Colombian regulatory framework for the production, import, export and commercialization of seeds obtained through conventional and non-conventional genetic improvement, defining certification categories, minimum quality requirements and registration procedures before the ICA for producers, importers, exporters and commercializers. It further regulates the National Register of Commercial Cultivars, the operating conditions of agronomic evaluation and phytoimprovement research units, and labeling standards applicable to a wide range of agricultural, forage, horticultural, fruit and forestry species. It includes provisions on farmer privilege, official oversight and the sanctioning regime for non-compliance.

Sustainable artisanal fisheries and bio-businesses for food security with market access in the Peru–Colombia Border Integration Zone is a binational technical cooperation initiative in the Putumayo River basin aimed at strengthening sustainable artisanal fishing and food security. It promotes cross-border governance through a binational roundtable, diagnostics and monitoring campaigns focused on water quality and fish species of commercial interest. It supports fisheries value-chain bio-businesses through awareness and technical training, financial education, technical assistance, formulation of business models and non-reimbursable equipment support, plus binational fairs and strategic commercial alliances. It also includes community food security plans, training in good food practices, field schools and collective solutions for access to safe water such as collection, filtration and storage. The initiative is implemented in Peru and Colombia over 24 months, financed by the Colombia–Peru Border Integration Zone Development Fund, with a required start in September 2025.

This technical cooperation aims to strengthen the institutional capacities of the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) through the development and implementation of strategic tools and specialized instruments that increase the effectiveness of public policies oriented towards sectoral competitiveness and sustainability of the Mexican agricultural and fishing sector. The TC will support studies, methodologies and specialized consultancies that will strengthen the registry and program roster system, the agricultural and rural statistics system, including support in remote sensing methodologies and direct marketing models between small and medium producers. It will also finance the development of a Master Plan for Sustainable Development of Fishing, Aquaculture and Mariculture in the Peninsula and Gulf of California. The project seeks to address the structural challenges of the Mexican agricultural sector related to limited institutional capacities, fragmented information systems and barriers to the inclusion of small and medium producers. The initiative contributes directly to strengthening national food security through more effective and sustainable public policies.

IDB technical cooperation aimed at designing a national system that generates and disseminates relevant and timely information for the design, monitoring, and evaluation of competitiveness and sustainability policies for Salvadoran coffee growing. The project seeks to strengthen the coffee sector's information systems by developing a statistical system comprised of a coffee grower registry, a georeferenced coffee census, and complementary surveys that generate dynamic data with national coverage. It includes the design of mechanisms for capturing and analyzing information from national and international markets, as well as traceability systems using blockchain methodology. The project addresses the problem of the lack of specialized information that limits the design and implementation of effective policies for a sector that represents 22% of the country's forests and has historically been a national economic driver. The initiative supports the execution of loan ES-L1135 "Strengthening the Climate Resilience of Coffee Forests in El Salvador."
