The Chilean Institute of Agricultural Development (INDAP) has initiated two significant efforts to bolster the camelid sector in the regions of Arica and Parinacota, Tarapacá, and Antofagasta, with a combined focus on enhancing livestock management and providing financial protection against adverse events. The Camelido Plan, backed by a $163 million budget for the current year, aims to support 70 ranchers through training, technical advice, and investment resources to improve camelid livestock management, reduce mortality, and enhance reproductive conditions, alongside studies to benefit the Aymara communities' camelid farming heritage. Additionally, INDAP introduced Camélido Insurance, offering up to 95% state-subsidized coverage against animal death, requiring farmers to maintain proper health records and vaccinations. These initiatives underscore the government's commitment to sustainable camelid farming practices and its economic potential in northern Chile.
