Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
5.7 million tons of avocado are produced annually in the Dominican Republic, making it one of the world's leading producers (GAP, 2023).
6.3% was aquaculture's share of global agricultural production between 2016 and 2020, up from 0.4% in 1961-1965, with increases in vegetables and fruits and decreases in grains and livestock products (USDA, 2024).
3.73% of Honduras' land cover in 2021 corresponded to agroforestry systems in coffee and fruit plantations, with 419,902 hectares (Secretaría de Agricultura y Ganadería de Honduras, 2023).
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).
40 million tons per year is the average loss of fruits and vegetables and sugar crops in the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
795, 565, 333 and 317 plans were executed in cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus respectively, demonstrating PRODAF's multi-channel focus.
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
US$ 1,161/ha is the significant productivity increase in the citrus chain (≈37% of ~US$ 3,000/ha average).
US$ 110,473 is the increase in sales for citrus (beneficiaries) compared to controls.
