40 million tons per year is the average loss of fruits and vegetables and sugar crops in the last three decades (FAO, 2023).
US$ 27,227 is the net income increase in citrus among beneficiaries.
2,005 producers implemented plans with technical assistance.
Plant replacement, fertilization, IPM, quality and post-harvest were prioritized.
0.293 is the increase in technological adoption (citrus), which is highly significant.
Two provinces and four value chains were prioritized based on technological gaps and economic relevance. These included Chaco (cotton, livestock) and Entre Ríos (citrus, dairy).
The program defined specific technological menus for cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus, aligned with gaps and good practices.
Citrus productivity gains arise from systemic changes (e.g., irrigation, GAP) that materialize over time.
795, 565, 333 and 317 plans were executed in cotton, livestock, dairy and citrus respectively, demonstrating PRODAF's multi-channel focus.
0.006 was the average DID effect on mean NDVI for citrus, indicating productivity improvement.
