Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The study shows that the 'Ataulfo' mango from Chiapas increases its sweetness and loses firmness as it ripens, which directly influences its post-harvest quality and export potential (Ortiz-Hernández, M. et al.,2012).
Harvest moisture affects rice milling quality, particularly whole grain yield and appearance. Levels between 20 % and 22 % are recommended to optimize industrial outcomes. (Álvarez-Parra et al., 2020).
In two climate-vulnerable regions of Guatemala, 95 % of farmers perceive climate change; 81 % report production impacts, but only 41 % have adapted—mainly via tree planting (Viguera et al., 2019).
80% of each soybean can be used as meal for animal feed in Mato Grosso, while 100% of corn can be converted into meal (Garrett et al., 2018).
4 units of feed are required to produce one unit of pig in confined systems, while 2 units are needed for one unit of chicken (Garrett et al., 2018).
85% of companies that obtain certifications such as ISO 9000 improve their ability to respond to queries about their performance, which increases their competitiveness in volatile markets where demand composition and technologies change abruptly and continuously (Sabel & Reddy, 2006).
43% of vineyard surface area in Argentina was dedicated to high enological value varieties in 2001, significantly increasing from approximately 20% in 1990 (McDermott, 2005).
65% of Mendoza's harvest was classified as high and medium quality grapes in 2002, while in San Juan it only reached 26%, showing a marked difference in quality production between the provinces (McDermott, 2005).
