Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
This study evaluates the impact of intercropping maize with native beans on the morphological growth, yield, and nutritional composition of forage intended for silage in the Peruvian Amazon. Treatments between maize monoculture and bean intercropping are compared, as well as different phenological stages (R2, R4, and R5). The results show improvements in protein, fiber, and productive parameters o...
56 % of beneficiaries reported adopting at least one new agricultural practice or technology after receiving the smart subsidy and technical assistance.
Smart subsidies combine co-financing and technical assistance. PRODAF’s smart subsidies combined non-reimbursable contributions with technical assistance to foster efficient and environmentally sustainable technology adoption.
2–3 years after adoption for full yield impacts to materialize (NDVI).
262 (cotton) and 190 (citrus) plots were georeferenced to build NDVI series.
Certified seeds, agrochemicals, and IPM financed to close technology gaps in cotton.
Over 100 private technicians were trained to support plans and adoption.
US$ 1,161/ha is the significant productivity increase in the citrus chain (≈37% of ~US$ 3,000/ha average).
21% is the increase in the probability of technology adoption among beneficiaries versus controls, estimated via IPW.
