Peru: Agriculture Policy Focuses on Domestic Concerns

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

Pedro Pablo Kuczynski’s (PPK) Government Plan outlines his policy objectives for his presidency, and includes a section on agriculture. The incoming minister of agriculture, Jose Hernandez, wrote this brief, eight page section entitled “Agro Próspero” (Prosperous Agriculture, p. 156) detailing four main objectives: increasing profitability of agriculture, integrating small producers into the market, sustainable management of soil and water, and sustainable development of forests. The focus is entirely on the small farmer and alleviating rural poverty within the domestic market. Despite this, sources indicate the new administration fully supports Peru’s commitment to the PTPA and the related agroexport
and import industries.
