Tridge summary

The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (Midagri) of Peru has approved an Agrarian Emergency Plan to address the severe fertilizer shortage, which is expected to increase food prices and threaten national food security. The plan notes a decrease in plantings for key crops, possibly due to producer decapitalization caused by rising input costs.
