Javier Escobal shares his opinion on the impact of the shortage of fertilizers in Peruvian agriculture
For Javier Escobal, Senior Researcher at GRADE, subsistence farmers, among whom the use of fertilizers is widespread, are particularly vulnerable to the increase in the price of these inputs, since they cannot transfer the higher cost to consumers. In addition, since they would have to buy the food that they would stop producing, they would be affected by the price increase.
