Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
1000 personalized technical assistance interventions were carried out by INIA specialists to improve goat management, nutrition, and health practices in rural areas of Peru, strengthening productive capacities and the performance of the caprine production system (INIA, 2025).
68% of Peru’s 2 million goats are concentrated in the northern coast, south-central zone, and Andean region, areas where precipitation ranges from 0–500 mm per year in arid and semi-arid zones, to elevations above 3,000 m a.s.l. with greater water availability, reflecting contrasts in forage supply and productive potential (INIA, 2025).
13,000 goat producers in Peru benefit from the PROCAP Investment Project, which promotes research, technical assistance, and productive strengthening in goat farming (INIA, 2025).
This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecologic...
This study evaluates the effect of a liquid biofertilizer made from cocoa husks on the growth and chlorophyll content of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense) in San Martín, Peru. The results show significant increases in height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, especially with doses of 1250–3000 mL, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable input to improve the physiological perfor...
The study compares three sowing methods (furrows, continuous seeding, and broadcasting) of the Cuba OM-22 hybrid grass in the dry tropics of Peru, evaluating biomass, initial establishment, survival, and forage nutritional composition. The results show significant differences in yield and nutritional quality depending on the method applied, providing useful evidence for improving forage practices ...
20.29 °C was the global average temperature recorded in 2024, with an anomaly of +1.18 °C (SENAMHI, 2024). This thermal increase is reflected in Peru through a higher frequency and intensity of droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, and landslides, affecting ecosystems, infrastructure, and productive sectors.
The study analyzes local development in the Quevedo canton (Ecuador) based on the strengthening of its agricultural production chains, combining a review of scientific literature and a territorial diagnosis. It identifies the structural conditions, levels of association, and degree of commercial integration of the main crops (bananas, rice, cocoa, African palm, and tropical fruits) revealing an un...
This exploratory research analyzes how women participate in Bolivian family farming, identifying their productive, reproductive, and decision-making roles. It examines the challenges they face in accessing resources, land, and technology, as well as the strategies they use to strengthen their autonomy. The study provides gender perspectives for designing inclusive agricultural policies.
