16 million tons was the production of oilseeds and oleaginous fruits in the Andean Community in 2022 (SG CAN, 2023).
16.5 million tons was the cereal production harvested in the Andean Community in 2022, representing a slight increase of 0.3% compared to the 16.4 million tons recorded in 2021 (SG CAN, 2023).
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).

They reached US$20.559 billion, representing just over 13% of the total import value of the subregion (Furche, 2024).

680 million hectares in the Southern Cone and Bolivia are used for cattle raising, accounting for 26.8% of production and 40.5% of world beef exports (Muñoz G. & Gauna D., 2024).
9.4% of the total area of the Amazon (797,824 km2) is composed of oil blocks, representing another important source of pressure on the ecosystem (Lesenfants et al., 2024).
