Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum 2025: Peru Presents Sustainable Investment Proposals

Peru participates for the fourth consecutive time in the Hand-in-Hand Investment Forum 2025 organized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), presenting a portfolio of USD 195 million in sustainable investments focused on three strategic value chains: Andean grains, high-Andean livestock, and Amazonian bioeconomy based on copoazú. These initiatives aim to strengthen family farming, create rural employment, and promote biodiversity as an engine for development. The investments prioritize competitiveness and territorial sustainability. In Andean grains (USD 39.5 million), efforts will focus on irrigation systems, processing facilities, and organic certification. In high-Andean livestock (USD 138.9 million), the goal is to promote sustainable production of alpaca meat and fiber under a low-emission and animal-welfare approach. In the Amazonian bioeconomy (USD 16.6 million), innovation and traceability of copoazú will be enhanced, linking carbon and biodiversity credits to foster environmental conservation and local development. The Government of Peru has allocated more than USD 140 million to complementary projects that strengthen these value chains and reaffirm its commitment to inclusive territorial development and climate adaptation. With FAO’s support, the country promotes a purpose-driven investment model based on public–private partnerships and the sustainable use of its rich agrobiodiversity.
