Something for the July 28 message President Garcia arrives at its third year in office. There is a level of attrition is evident in the protests and unmistakable signs of adverse outcomes, as higher prices. As with Toledo, large numbers progressing well in blue: We have achieved the level of investment and craved more of an FTA. This year, as above, we have witnessed significant reductions in poverty.
This poverty is largely due to social policy used, and this is a relief and not overcome it. This is not bad, but does not reduce the vulnerability to which they are exposed to millions of Peruvians, especially the rural population of mountain and forest. As several experts have warned, although the reduction is significant, the gap between the ends of society is adding to "social bomb?. This
28, we conclude that we have a Ministry of Environment, the level of resources and decision is a mystery or challenge. We can also conclude that our exports are going to diversify and increase agricultural export crops beyond the coastline. We might even conclude that home prices have improved for local producers (although this is due to external factors affecting the poorest segments). But not everyone is celebrating.
The presentation of Minister Benavides and his ambition of a modern agro (and developed) the style of the American farm (with photos) is opposed to the provision of development of domestic markets for small producers, proposed by Garcia in his first message as president in this period, this view is more distant from the goals set for him same 20 years ago. Benavides's concern is to develop agriculture in large areas, with a major crop that is progressive, the trend to eliminate small farms in this context is necessary. This also goes through an aggressive use of technology, primarily with improved seeds, fertilizers and agrochemicals. Distant situation for more than a million farm units that could be classified as rural or subsistence economies (the difference between them is at the level of articulation with the market) are not subject people with higher credit and investment options to the minister proposed.
Production specialization is also a problem with the environment, and is something that the new minister Brack probably not have the resources and powers to do (although that space.) Not to mention the trouble with mining companies, or discussions about land use and water, or the need to introduce foreign seeds and new pesticides, looking to be competitive.
We recognize that there is consistency in the actions of Agriculture, because the vision has been accompanied by a set of rules that raise constitutional prohibitions and give the option for a rapid growth of land markets (in some cases regardless of the value, but the transaction). Consistency lacking the Ministry of Environment and the owner has said without mincing words, but with their hands tied.
As noted in the June Agricultural Journal, have been major changes in the industry, mergers of government agencies, a shift of responsibilities to the regions and space must have the new ministry. The question is how do those who do not fit the current vision of the ministry?, Politics development of domestic markets was, in my opinion, most important of Alan for this period, something that has been neglected. Hopefully this 28 has something for ordinary people, who live at altitude or in remote areas of forest. The bag of food, whether with tanks, will bring down the poverty rate, but does not allow the poor or poor ex actually improve their condition, only rely on the transfer for a livelihood subject to the State.
