Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
43% of agrifoods in CARICOM have tariffs above 15%, almost three times more than in SICA countries, except for the Dominican Republic (FAO and IDB, 2024).
1% and 4.7% are the projected increases in export value, with the greatest dynamism concentrated in the United States and China, respectively (ECLAC, 2023).
73% share of agricultural production in the global South (developed countries) in 2020, compared to 44% in 1961 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
From $1.1 trillion to $4.3 trillion was the growth in global production of crop, livestock and agricultural raw materials (at constant 2015 prices) (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
16% is the proportion of jobs offered by the agricultural sector in Panama (IDB, 2024).
2.6% corresponds to the share of the agricultural sector in Panama (IDB, 2024).
53% was the increase in agricultural production per capita between 1961 and 2020 (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
8% was the increase in global agricultural area to 4.76 billion hectares, or 32% of the world's land area (Fuglie, Morgan, S, & Jelliffe, 2024).
A 1% increase in productivity growth is equivalent to a 1% decrease in the cost of producing, storing and selling one unit of a product (GAP, 2023)
0.69% was the average annual growth of Total Factor Productivity (TFP) in Latin America and the Caribbean between 2011 and 2021, a decrease of almost 70% compared to the previous decade (GAP, 2023).
