Peru Economy: Country becoming Latin America's startup hub

Economic Survey of Peru - 2023
Peru’s solid macroeconomic framework has driven substantial economic growth and poverty reduction in the past two decades. While the economy swiftly rebounded from the pandemic due to strong policy support, it exposed structural weaknesses such as a large informal sector and stark regional disparities in accessing public services. More recently, growth has slowed, and inflation remains high but declining. Looking ahead, main challenges for boosting productivity and investment include strengthening competition, improving regulations, diversifying exports, and enhancing infrastructure.

The Rising Economic Cost of Peru’s Protests
Peru’s instability shows no sign of easing – and the economic impact is mounting. Protests are costing between $60 and $100 million per day, report Lucia He and Marcelo Rochabrun.
In bad news for fruit consumers, exporting powerhouse Peru has lost about $300 million in farm shipments during eight weeks of violent turmoil, according to the nation’s agricultural association.
The hundreds of highway blockades that have restricted access to ports have hurt producers of grapes, blueberries and asparagus among other products, Gabriel Amaro, head of Peru’s agricultural producers association, AGAP, said in a telephone interview.
Peru is the world’s biggest blueberry exporter, was set to become the biggest global table-grape shipper and is a major supplier of asparagus. Its fruit supplies are ...

Embark on a journey through the mid-1800s, a pivotal era defined by the Industrial Revolution, where bird droppings, known as guano, emerged as a game-changer. This video navigates the influential role of Guano in the advent of industrial agriculture and the global shift in farming practices.
Facing the alarming decline of soil fertility and farming productivity due to industrialization, societies needed a new solution. Traditional practices like crop rotation and the application of manure no longer sufficed. Enter Guano, the miraculous substance that sparked an agricultural renaissance, rejuvenating fields and boosting harvests beyond expectations.
From farms in upstate New York, dwindling in productivity, to global fields experiencing unprecedented growth, this video reveals Guano's astonishing power and enduring influence on our world. From igniting agricultural transformations to shaping geopolitics, driving wars, and building empires, Guano has played a far-reaching role.
Join us as we explore the extraordinary tale of this natural fertilizer and its pivotal role in history.

Peru’s instability shows no sign of easing – and the economic impact is mounting. Protests are costing between $60 and $100 million per day, report Lucia He and Marcelo Rochabrun.
In bad news for fruit consumers, exporting powerhouse Peru has lost about $300 million in farm shipments during eight weeks of violent turmoil, according to the nation’s agricultural association.
The hundreds of highway blockades that have restricted access to ports have hurt producers of grapes, blueberries and asparagus among other products, Gabriel Amaro, head of Peru’s agricultural producers association, AGAP, said in a telephone interview.
Peru is the world’s biggest blueberry exporter, was set to become the biggest global table-grape shipper and is a major supplier of asparagus. Its fruit supplies are especially critical to the US, where drought and storms have damaged crops, pushing up prices.
When trucks can’t arrive because of blockades, some operations have been forced to shut plants and suspend harvesting due to insufficient refrigerated storage space, Amaro said. Some producers have tried to send trucks along unpaved tracks through the desert. Thousands of small family farms have also suffered large losses.
“Small-scale family agriculture, which supplies the local market, doesn’t normally have refrigeration,” he said. “The exporters do have refrigeration, but they can’t wait weeks and weeks without being able to use the highways.”
The blockades by anti-government protesters have paralyzed swathes of southern Peru, the nation’s mining and tourism heartland, causing large economic damage.
So far, 58 people including a police officer have been killed in protests that erupted after President Pedro Castillo was impeached on Dec. 7 for attempting to dissolve congress.
Congress is meeting to debate early elections as a possible way out of the crisis. Amaro’s group is calling for security forces to clear the blockades. Late last week, police pledged to do so with military support.
