Technical Assistance for Goat Production in Peru

01/12/2025 Go to Evidence

1000 personalized technical assistance interventions were carried out by INIA specialists to improve goat management, nutrition, and health practices in rural areas of Peru, strengthening productive capacities and the performance of the caprine production system (INIA, 2025).

Deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon

01/12/2025 Go to Evidence

50% of deforestation in the Peruvian Amazon occurs on forest lands where the removal of tree cover is prohibited, showing that forest loss is concentrated in legally restricted areas. This situation reflects pressures associated with land-use change driven by activities such as shifting agriculture, cattle ranching, illegal and informal mining, and illicit crop cultivation, all of which significantly contribute to the degradation of ecosystems and forested lands SERFOR (2020).

PROCAP Beneficiary Producers

13,000 goat producers in Peru benefit from the PROCAP Investment Project, which promotes research, technical assistance, and productive strengthening in goat farming (INIA, 2025).

Geographical Distribution of Goat Livestock (Peru)

01/12/2025 Go to Evidence

68% of Peru’s 2 million goats are concentrated in the northern coast, south-central zone, and Andean region, areas where precipitation ranges from 0–500 mm per year in arid and semi-arid zones, to elevations above 3,000 m a.s.l. with greater water availability, reflecting contrasts in forage supply and productive potential (INIA, 2025).
