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).
Soybean prices fell by 8.6% in 2023 compared to the previous year, in a context of high volatility due to factors such as the drought in Argentina and Uruguay, the record harvest in Brazil and Chinese demand (IDB, 2024).

By 27.7%, the price of sugar increased in 2023, far exceeding historical highs (IDB, 2024).
