Start Date: 01/01/2026
End Date: 31/12/2026

Description

National intervention of Peru's Ministry of Agricultural Development and Irrigation planned for fiscal year 2026 to expand and improve irrigation infrastructure, introduce technified irrigation systems and strengthen water harvesting in order to increase water availability and promote sustainable use of water resources in agricultural production. The intervention includes investments to irrigate 16,777 hectares and benefit 13,448 families through irrigation infrastructure and technified irrigation, together with 85 qochas, 113 reservoirs, conditioning of 9,184 hectares and support to 11,109 families through water harvesting activities.

Observations

The intervention is included among the main 2026 targets of MIDAGRI Budget Unit 013 presented to the Budget and General Account Committee of the Congress of Peru on September 29, 2025. The presentation allocates PEN 445.8 million to irrigation infrastructure and technified irrigation, targeting 16,777 irrigated agricultural hectares and 13,448 beneficiary families. An additional PEN 66.8 million is allocated to water harvesting, targeting 85 qochas, 113 reservoirs, 9,184 conditioned hectares and 11,109 beneficiary families. The aggregate amount used in this record is PEN 512.6 million. USD conversion uses the Central Reserve Bank of Peru interbank selling exchange rate of PEN 3.365 per USD for January 5, 2026, the first available observation of the year in the consulted series, producing approximately USD 152,332,838.04. The source is the proposed 2026 Budget Law and does not provide a financing-source breakdown specifically for this intervention; therefore no distribution among ordinary resources, official credit operations, directly collected resources or grants is inferred.
