Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
53.9 million tons was the estimated production of sugar crops in the Andean Community in 2022 (SG CAN, 2023).
7.1 million tons was the vegetable production in the Andean Community during 2022, representing a 7.6% decrease compared to the 7.7 million tons harvested in 2021 (SG CAN, 2023). which totaled 7.7 million tons.
8.3 million tons was the harvested production of forage crops, fibers, unprocessed tobacco, and natural rubber in the Andean Community in 2022, representing a 2.3% increase compared to the 8.1 million tons recorded in 2021 (SG CAN, 2023).
313 thousand tons was the amount of legumes (dry leguminous vegetables) harvested by the Andean Community in 2022 (SG CAN, 2023).
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).
9 billion dollars per year will be allocated by the World Bank to agribusiness and agrifinance by 2030, doubling its current commitment (World Bank, 2024).
This study examined the relationship between air and sea surface temperatures, Peruvian organic agro-exports (2000–2022), and food security. It found that higher organic agro-exports reduce undernourishment globally and enhance access to healthy diets despite climate change (Coayla & Bedon, 2024).
20% drop in avocado production in Jalisco due to drought, affecting Mexico's second largest producer (El Economista, 2024).
Imports have steadily grown since 2018, with peaks in 2021 and 2022, due to rising international prices of commodities in which CAN countries have deficits, such as cereals and oilseeds (Furche, 2024).
