Peru meets only 9% of its wheat demand through local production, with the rest being imported mainly from the United States, Canada, and Argentina. The country's average annual production is 200 thousand tons, cultivated over 235 thousand hectares, resulting in an average yield of 1.8 tons per hectare. To achieve self-sufficiency, Peru would need to cultivate an additional 1,111,000 hectares or stop cultivating several crops. Wheat imports have seen fluctuations, peaking in 2020 at 2,271,000 tons despite COVID-19 limitations, but decreasing by 12.6% in 2021 due to high prices. In the first seven months of 2022, imports recovered slightly, reaching 1,276,000 tons, with Canada, the United States, and Argentina being the primary suppliers. Argentina has surpassed Canada as the second-largest supplier to Peru in 2022 due to lower prices.

He explained that these 200 thousand tons produced only cover 9% of the national demand, so 91% is imported, basically from the United States, Canada and Argentina (2 million tons per year on average). These supplier countries are large producers worldwide that allocate 15 million hectares, 9 million and 6.5 million, respectively, to their cultivation (USDA, 2022). Until 2015, the national production of wheat was above 200 thousand tons. In that same year, a volume of 215 thousand tons was produced. Thereafter, it declined below 200 thousand tons and bottomed out in 2020 at 186.8 thousand tons. ...
