Production of paddy rice and yellow corn fell by more than 20%

In the agricultural sector, as of June, there was a decrease in production by 1.64%.

Report National Institute for Statistics and Informatics (INEI) warned of a 1.64% decline in agricultural production as of June. It is worth noting that this sector has shown significant continuous growth over the past twelve months.

A 2.88% decline in agricultural output was the factor behind the fall, which was moderated by a 1.48% increase in livestock production.

The fall in the agricultural sector is associated with a drop in the production of paddy rice by 21.88% and hard yellow corn by 20.23%.to this are added other crops that also hit their crop, such as coffee (-4.60%), asparagus (-25.09%), onions (-35.78%), dry beans (-26.86 %), paprika (-47.04%) and quinoa (-12.26%).

According to INEI, the sown area decreased by 0.12%, and the sown area – by 6.20; climate conditions that presented temperatures below normal on the coast affected the growth of the crop, while in the mountains of the country and in the Amazon the temperature rose above the average range.

“This sector has been affected by insufficient use of fertilizers in crop production due to high prices that are out of reach for farmers,” the agency warned.

How rice, corn and potatoes were produced

Paddy rice production fell by 21.88%. As of June, there was a 24.19% decrease in sown area, and farmers also suffered from water shortages.. Most affected regions were Lambayeque (-18.36%), followed by San Martin (-0.01%), La Libertad (-78.38%), Amazonas (-6.20%), Tumbes (-5.50 %) and Cajamarca (-0.66%). However, in Piura it rose by 23.89%, followed by Arequipa and Ucayali, where growth was 39.11% and 58.93% respectively.

Meanwhile, hard yellow corn production decreased by 20.23% with a decrease in planted area by 13.08% and low yields, which mainly affected the regions: Ica (-44.43%), Cajamarca (-10.93%) , Lima (-53.99%) and La Libertad (-66.76%). However, production increased in San Martin (29.24%), the first producer and Piura (121.61%).

Potatoes, one of the staples of the main family basket, unaffected. Vice versa, by June, it increased by 8.27% due to an increase in the area harvested (0.89%), as well as the influence of good weather conditions (high soil moisture), which contributed to the adequate development of potatoes in its first phenological stages in areas with access to irrigation, where the “small campaign” was sown. .

This behavior was observed in the most representative regions of its production, such as Ayacucho (44.34%), Junin (5.41%), La Libertad (13.16%), Huancavelica (12.61%), Huanuco (2, 95%) and Cajamarca (10.58%). %). On the contrary, in Apurimac (-16.81%), Cusco (-4.29%) and Pasco (-1.29%) they decreased due to mixed overnight temperatures and rainfall above their historical records. In the context, Potato plantations, which are in the phenophase of maturation of People’s production 19, had a negative impact on crops due to the presence of fungal diseases (late blight) in some regions of the country.

animal husbandry

The increase in the livestock sub-sector (1.48%) was due to increase in core products such as poultry meat 1.36%, fresh milk 2.30%, beef 1.71%, pork 3.09%, sheep 1.34%, eggs 0.40%, alpaca 0.46%, llama 1.55% and wool 3.18%. On the other hand, production of llama fiber decreased by -4.76%, alpaca fiber -4.17% and goat fiber -1.69%.
