Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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).
0.22 is the fraction of glaciers that Peru has lost in 30 years, being home to 71 % of the world's tropical glaciers (Cosbey and Vogt-Schilb, 2023).
30% is the GHG reduction that Peru has committed to achieve by 2030, taking 2010 as a baseline (Beverinotti, J et al., 2023).
Survey of 130 goat producers in Piura (Marcavelica, Lancones, La Brea) found 56.9 % recognized climate change, perceiving impacts on temperature (69.9 %), rainfall (100 %), soil productivity (79.2 %), and water availability (50 %). Four adaptation capacity clusters emerged: excellent (6 %), good (23 %), fair (75 %), and poor (25 %) (Temoche et al., 2024).
8% is the estimated reduction in the use of plastics which, together with a 5% decrease in certain raw materials, could generate increases in GDP between 0.9% and 2.2% and employment between 1.2% and 2.1% in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru by 2030.
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).
Nearly 20% of the total export value corresponds to the consolidated exports of the CAN countries, reaching an amount of US$30,628 m, reflecting the importance of intraregional trade in economic strengthening (Furche, 2024).
They reached US$20.559 billion, representing just over 13% of the total import value of the subregion (Furche, 2024).
More than US$10 billion is the surplus exhibited by the aggregated trade balance of the CAN agricultural sector, reflecting its strong export performance (Furche, 2024).
