Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
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).
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).
They reached US$20.559 billion, representing just over 13% of the total import value of the subregion (Furche, 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).
In 2022 we produced 408,571 miles of liters of milk with a total of 360,291 vacas (horras and paridas) (MAG, 2023)
Las estadísticas de la Dirección de Agroindustrias del MIDA revelan un comportamiento dispar: la recepción de leche Grado C por las grandes plantas pasteurizadoras cayó de 29.6 millones de litros en 2019 a solo 17.5 millones en 2023, aunque repuntó levemente a 20.4 millones en 2024. (ES)
Según la ANAGAN, se estimaba alrededor de 1,200 productores dedicados a leche en 2019, pero en 2022-2023 quedaban apenas unos 700 activos. Es decir, más de 400 pequeños ganaderos (sobre todo de leche grado C) han abandonado la actividad en muy pocos años.
El número de vacas especializadas en ordeño pasó de un aproximado de 231,400 vientres en 2015 a unos 157,500 vientres en 2023, con una reducción superior al 30%. (ES)
