In 2023, the relative internal productivity of the Agriculture sector in Latin America and the Caribbean was 44 (with total productivity coefficient = 100), showing its lag compared to sectors with higher productivity, according to the sectoral graph of the report (ECLAC, 2025).

In the sectoral mapping of PAIs, agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing accounts for 248 PAIs (34.8%), followed by manufacturing (188), tourism (70) and ICT (51); additionally, 32 PAIs in health are identified, according to the report (ECLAC, 2025).

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the agriculture, forestry, hunting and fishing sector accounts for 248 productive articulation initiatives (PAI), representing 34.8% of the total, according to the report (ECLAC, 2025).

This regional technical cooperation seeks to facilitate the transition from conventional livestock practices to sustainable livestock management models in the Amazon biome, integrating biodiversity protection and ecosystem restoration with economic, social, and environmental benefits. To do so, it will foster a regional platform of key stakeholders with nodes and networks that promote collaboration and knowledge exchange on sustainable livestock management in the Amazon. It will also compile and systematize existing evidence, identify information gaps, and document best practices, lessons learned, and indicators to measure progress in sustainability. Based on that knowledge, it will produce communication materials and organize dissemination events to support evidence-based decision-making and enable adoption of sustainable practices by regional actors. Finally, it will implement one demonstration farm as a successful production model to apply and showcase sustainable livestock practices and encourage replication or adaptation across other Amazon territories.

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 initiative is a Technical Cooperation (PE-T1615) aimed at repositioning Peru’s main public agricultural services to promote sustainable agricultural development. It will foster partnerships with the private sector and with regional and municipal authorities, and strengthen institutional coordination through public-private collaboration mechanisms and engagement with subnational governments, reinforcing cooperative models. The TC will finance consultancies and multi-stakeholder technical dialogue spaces organized into two components: technical support for repositioning agricultural services (including studies and designs of monitoring instruments, territorial approaches, and digital technologies for strategic resources such as seeds) and the development of institutional coordination mechanisms and capacity building (leadership, negotiation, and communication). It complements IDB operations in Peru’s agricultural sector, particularly PE-L1270 (innovation and extension services) and PE-L1280 (food safety), and seeks to strengthen MIDAGRI’s steering role alongside INIA and SENASA. The IDB will execute the TC, and monitoring will track planned vs. executed procurements and delivered outputs, with annual reporting through the TCM system.

Law No. 32434 modernizes the agricultural sector by creating a differentiated tax regime for small producers and agricultural companies, incentives such as reduced income tax rates and VAT refunds, promotion of associations through registered associations, access to financing via COFIDE and public funds, promotion of digitization and agricultural technology, and strengthening legal certainty regarding agricultural property, with the aim of improving the competitiveness, formalization, and sustainability of the sector.

It is a platform made up of all public sector institutions and users with responsibilities and functions related to water management. Principle 7 of the Water Resources Law states that, for effective public water management, the SNGRH is the responsibility of a single, decentralized authority, which in this case is the National Water Authority (ANA).

Executive Directorate Resolution No. D00134-2021-MIDAGRI-SERFOR approves the National Strategy for the Restoration of Degraded Forest Ecosystems and Lands (ProREST) 2021–2030, a management instrument that guides State actions to restore degraded forest ecosystems in Peru. The document sets goals for 2030 —including reducing at least 15% of the national gap of degraded areas— and incorporates guidelines for public and private investment, governance, research, and capacity building. The regulation is grounded in Law No. 29763, its regulations, and the national restoration guidelines, and it aligns the efforts of the three levels of government to meet national and international commitments

This initiative aims to restore native High-Andean grassland ecosystems in Tisco (Arequipa, Peru) to improve water availability, vegetation cover, and forage species diversity. Through water harvesting, sustainable pasture management, and organizational strengthening, the project improves alpaca production and the livelihoods of 50 alpaca-herding families from ASDIPROCAT.
