Description
The study examines the sensitivity of Peru's agricultural yield to climate variability from 1961 to 2024 and finds that La Niña particularly favors citrus, cotton, fruit, and sugarcane crops. Crop yield fluctuations explain approximately 26% of macroeconomic variance, while oceanic and atmospheric signals can support early warning systems and agricultural risk management.
