How productive is Peruvian agriculture? What has been driving productivity growth in the sector in recent years, and are the traditional sources of productivity growth sustainable? Are there opportunities to accelerate productivity growth going forward by tapping into new sources of growth? And do the answers to these questions differ by region? In the Costa region, have high levels of productivity growth been driven mainly by the uptake of high-value crops, and is this strategy sustainable? In the Sierra region, should farmers be encouraged to adopt improved technology for the production of traditional staples such as potatoes and maize, or should the focus be on encouraging them to substitute into high-value crops? In the Selva region, is rapid expansion of cropped area and cultivated pastures a sustainable path for agricultural growth, or should there me more emphasis on intensification?
