Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
This study evaluates the impact of intercropping maize with native beans on the morphological growth, yield, and nutritional composition of forage intended for silage in the Peruvian Amazon. Treatments between maize monoculture and bean intercropping are compared, as well as different phenological stages (R2, R4, and R5). The results show improvements in protein, fiber, and productive parameters o...
This study evaluates the effect of a liquid biofertilizer made from cocoa husks on the growth and chlorophyll content of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense) in San Martín, Peru. The results show significant increases in height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, especially with doses of 1250–3000 mL, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable input to improve the physiological perfor...
This study characterizes goat production systems in the Peruvian Amazonian tropical dry forest using multivariate analysis. Productive, reproductive, nutritional, health, and socioeconomic variables were evaluated to identify producer typologies and understand the dynamics affecting the efficiency of the goat system. The analysis allowed for the distinction of groups with differentiated practices ...
The study compares three sowing methods (furrows, continuous seeding, and broadcasting) of the Cuba OM-22 hybrid grass in the dry tropics of Peru, evaluating biomass, initial establishment, survival, and forage nutritional composition. The results show significant differences in yield and nutritional quality depending on the method applied, providing useful evidence for improving forage practices ...
0.9% was the growth of agricultural Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2011 and 2020, signaling a marked slowdown in productivity (IBD, 2025).
30% declines in sustainable productivity in Latin America and the Caribbean when environmental costs are included, lowering total factor productivity (TFP) to 0.14% per year. (IDB, 2025).
2.9% per year was the growth of agricultural output in LAC since 1961, driven by a 1.7% annual TFP (Total factor productivity) increase (IBD, 2025).
20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.
Treated farmers reported an average 18 % increase in net agricultural income compared to the control group, based on IPW estimates.
56 % of beneficiaries reported adopting at least one new agricultural practice or technology after receiving the smart subsidy and technical assistance.
