Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
State support for the Peruvian agricultural sector (2019–2022) is analyzed using the OECD methodology (PSE and GSSE), quantifying subsidies, general services, and competitiveness programs, and linking them to the sector's GHG emissions. It assesses its consistency with the NDCs and the National Agricultural Policy 2021–2030, highlighting the need to reorient incentives towards climate-smart an...
This study assessed the use of coffee by-products (mucilage, pulp, and yogurt) as starter cultures in semi-wet fermentation. Significant sugar reduction and enhanced formation of desirable aromatic compounds raised the cup score from 84 (control) to 86.7, qualifying it as specialty coffee (Díaz Medina, J. A. et al., 2024).
6 tons per hectare exceeds Iniap seed varieties, compared to the national average of 4.8 tons (Redacción El Universo, 2025).
More than 60% of the energy in sugar mills comes from agricultural waste, generating surplus electricity for the grid and strengthening its sustainability (UNICA, 2023).
12,688 USD was the global GDP per capita in 2022, more than double that of 2000, while global agricultural employment fell from 40% to 26% (FAO, 2024).
65% of small and medium Latin American farmers lack access to adequate financing to adopt technological changes, which is identified as a critical barrier to the materialization of innovations according to CAF diagnostics (Velásquez, A., 2025).
300% could increase the productivity of small Latin American farmers through adequate training and extension services that facilitate the transfer and adoption of adapted technologies, according to CAF projections for regional development (Velásquez, A., 2025).
The study examines how droughts, floods, and temperature shifts impact agriculture in Peru and Ecuador. It reviews adaptation strategies such as climate-resilient crops, irrigation innovations, and government support. Findings show improved resilience, but highlight the need for more sustainable practices and stronger climate policies (Fernandez & Morales, 2025).
In Peru’s Upper Huallaga basin, 73 structured farmer interviews were integrated with local station and ERA-5 data. A temperature rise of +0.2 °C per decade matched farmers’ perceptions. Increased crop water deficit and surplus volumes suggest more intense sub-daily convective rainfall, helping explain perceived changes in precipitation and wind (Serrano et al., 2025).
32% of farmers in Bolivia use irrigation, but it only covers 7% of the planted area (Castilleja et al., 2023).
