Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Three key sectors —trade, manufacturing and services— concentrate the productivity lag in LAC (OECD, 2024).
The productivity gap between Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and high-income economies has been declining for 33 years (OECD, 2024).
1 in 10 people in LAC lived in extreme poverty in 2024 (OECD, 2024).
26.8% of the population of LAC was in poverty in 2024 (OECD, 2024).
40% of OECD productivity was represented by LAC in 1990 (OECD, 2024).
33% of OECD labor productivity corresponds to the average productivity of LAC in 2023 (OECD, 2024).
The industrial sector generates 9 Gt/year of CO2 globally (CAF, 2023).
1.5°C was the temperature increase limit reaffirmed at COP27 (CAF, 2023).
1000 personalized technical assistance interventions were carried out by INIA specialists to improve goat management, nutrition, and health practices in rural areas of Peru, strengthening productive capacities and the performance of the caprine production system (INIA, 2025).
68% of Peru’s 2 million goats are concentrated in the northern coast, south-central zone, and Andean region, areas where precipitation ranges from 0–500 mm per year in arid and semi-arid zones, to elevations above 3,000 m a.s.l. with greater water availability, reflecting contrasts in forage supply and productive potential (INIA, 2025).
