Eduardo Zegarra on A Pensar Más with Rosa María Palacios: an outlook of Peruvian agriculture and food price increases
“Basically three processes have aggravated the agricultural crisis. First COVID, then the fertilizer crisis, very poorly managed, and the last has been the climate crisis, with a drought in the highlands and the coastal El Niño. If you add all this up, agricultural production has fallen 5% in the first six months of this year, and agricultural production has fallen 7.5%. This means less production”.
Our senior researcher Eduardo Zegarra talked to Rosa María Palacios of Radio Santa Rosa about the outlook for agriculture in Peru, the rise in prices of agricultural products and other issues.
