Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The study assessed how precision technologies—such as sensors, GIS, and drones—relate to agricultural input management in the San Martín region of Peru. Based on surveys of 120 producers, it found that productivity and sustainability positively influence efficient input management, while costs, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change are the main barriers to their adoption
A study of 159 Gyr crossbred dairy cows under tropical conditions in Peru compared two estrus synchronization protocols (conventional PC9 vs. extended J-Synch6) for follicular timed induction (FTAI) and evaluated their relationship with heat stress index (THI) in seven critical phases of the program. Both protocols showed similar estrus and pregnancy rates, but J-Synch6 produced larger preovulator...
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
The program defined specific technological menus for cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus, aligned with gaps and good practices.
0.293 is the increase in technological adoption (citrus), which is highly significant.
In dairy products, input and labor costs decreased (with methodological caution). US$ 33,854 (inputs) and US$ 11,507 (labor).
Plant replacement, fertilization, IPM, quality and post-harvest were prioritized.
Investments were concentrated in feed and equipment for milking and handling.
Investments were directed towards water points, fodder, fencing, machinery and general infrastructure.
US$ 182.2/ha is the increase in net income in cotton.
