PERU ----------------------------------------1789TRENDING

Como o Peru Transformou um dos Desertos Mais Áridos do Mundo em um Grande Centro Agroexportador

Ica passou de dunas áridas a culturas intensivas de frutas

Durante décadas, as vastas planícies desérticas de Ica pareciam inóspitas: poeira, areia e mar predominavam, sem sinais de que poderiam se tornar terras férteis. (teletica.com)

No entanto, desde a década de 1990 começaram transformações profundas: reformas econômicas atraíram investimento privado, junto com a expansão de modernos sistemas de irrigação por gotejamento, tornando possível cultivar áreas antes consideradas improdutivas. (chnm.com.pe)

Nas últimas décadas, não apenas Ica, mas grande parte do litoral desértico do Peru, transformou-se em um imenso corredor agroexportador. Frutas e produtos como blueberries, uvas de mesa, aspargos, mangas e abacates multiplicaram-se em campos antes considerados impossíveis para a agricultura. (teletica.com)

Segundo dados do Ministério de Desenvolvimento Agrário e Irrigação (MIDAGRI), entre 2010 e 2024, as exportações agrícolas peruanas cresceram a uma taxa média anual de 11%, atingindo em 2024 o recorde de US$ 9,185 bilhões. (teletica.com)

Graças a esse crescimento, o Peru consolidou-se como um dos principais fornecedores mundiais de frutas de alto valor. Hoje, é considerado o maior exportador global de blueberries e uvas de mesa. (teletica.com)

Este modelo agrícola gerou benefícios importantes: criou empregos formais em áreas que antes dependiam de atividades informais, aumentou a renda e atraiu investimento privado em infraestrutura, tecnologia e inovação. (andina.pe)

No entanto, também levantou questões sobre sustentabilidade. O uso intensivo de água em áreas tradicionalmente áridas apresenta desafios ambientais e problemas de acesso ao recurso, especialmente para pequenos agricultores e comunidades locais. (chnm.com.pe)

Em definitiva, o que antes era um deserto costeiro transformou-se em um impressionante motor agroexportador. Esta mudança alterou não apenas a paisagem, mas também a economia e a projeção internacional do Peru como fornecedor global de alimentos.
