THE AGRICULTURAL POOL CONTRACT AND ITS POSSIBLE EFFECTS IN PERU

Abstract

Agriculture has been one of the most important sectors in our country since its pre-Hispanic times, however, it has suffered inconveniences for its development, since in the 1970s with the Agrarian Reform, associations were promoted that ended up not being well managed, in largely due to the lack of knowledge in the management of investment projects of the peasantry and in part due to a deficiency of the state in promoting or facilitating,  through a public entity, advice to producers, which generated multiple bankruptcies in the agricultural sector, in addition to of the very natural climatic impacts of our country such as the El Niño phenomenon, which eventually cause damage to the agricultural sector in some seasons. Despite the aforementioned adversities, Peru has made significant progress, it should be noted that in 2017, agriculture was consolidated as the second most important economic activity, due to the growth of agricultural exports, for which we can affirm that despite the various difficulties presented, the agricultural potential of the country is quite high and allows us to begin to establish some processes that facilitate or promote this activity.
