Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
A 20%–30% increase in prices could be generated by the certification of producers supported by CAF (CAF, 2025).
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).
In 1999, the United States granted US$132 per hectare as a corn subsidy, three times more than the US$42 per hectare granted by Mexico (Arroyo, 2009).
38% represents the coefficient of variation around the trend of Costa Rica's export price between 1961 and 1997 (Bosselmann, 2008).
20% to 60% would increase meat prices if they reflected their true health, climate and environmental costs (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
15 % emissions could be reduced by reducing fertilizer use or adopting organic agriculture, but this could also reduce agricultural production by 5 %, increase food prices by 13 % and make healthy diets more expensive by 10 % (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
9.5% is the projected annual decline in the price index for agricultural and livestock products (ECLAC, 2024).
2.1% was the year-on-year fall in the price index of the main commodities exported by LAC (ECLAC, 2024).
136.6% increased the value of fertilizer imports in LAC in the first half of 2022, with only 4% more in volume (Government of Mexico, 2023).
20% was the increase in the value of the FAO Dairy Price Index in 2022, reaching an unprecedented peak for all these products (OECD and FAO, 2023).
