The war between Russia and Ukraine, which is one year old this week, has pushed prices up around the world because those countries were among the first grain importers.
But why does the fact that the product is growing internationally affect Peru so much? Because, according to a report by the Peruvian Center for Social Research (White mushrooms), Peru has a strong food dependency that has increased fivefold over the past 60 years.
Previously, in 1961, imports accounted for 4% of the food supply, and even before the pandemic, it was 20%.
what do we depend on the most? IN oils, hard yellow corn and wheatfoods that are key in Peruvian food.
Most families cook with oil, corn and wheat are used to feed farm animals, and in the case of wheat, it is also used to make flour, which is ultimately used to make bread.
As for corn, in Peru production National covers only 23% of national demand. Imports began to cover more than 70%.
As for wheat, only about 188 thousand tons are produced in the country. This figure has not improved over the past 10 years, so more than 90% of the wheat consumed in Peru is imported from other countries.
What can be done?
Experts point out that tariff barriers or restrictions import because they can harm consumers. Rather, it is about creating incentives so that the country is more competitive and does not have to import as much as it does.
The former head of Midagri, Juan Manuel Benítez, clarified that we need infrastructure, better regulation, incentives, work on the credit side, among other things, to increase crop yields.
In addition, he points out the need for associativity between agricultural producers small with a few hectares so that they can cut costs, negotiate better prices.
In the case of infrastructure, we recall that last year more than 70% of the budget intended for investments was used, some regions and localities did not use most of their resources intended for work in agriculture and animal husbandry.
The regional governments of Ucayali and Cajamarca have lagged behind the most. The Ucayali stopped using almost seven of the 10 sols, and in Cajamarca they did not use more than half of their budget.
When municipalitiesthose who used less than half the money they were given for work were Ica, Lambaeque and Pasco.
