This study evaluates the effect of a liquid biofertilizer made from cocoa husks on the growth and chlorophyll content of sweet pepper plants (Capsicum chinense) in San Martín, Peru. The results show significant increases in height, stem diameter, and chlorophyll content, especially with doses of 1250–3000 mL, demonstrating its potential as a sustainable input to improve the physiological performance and early growth of the crop (Solórzano et al., 2025).

This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecological input for early stages of cacao development (Chuquizuta et al., 2025).

The study analyzes local development in the Quevedo canton (Ecuador) based on the strengthening of its agricultural production chains, combining a review of scientific literature and a territorial diagnosis. It identifies the structural conditions, levels of association, and degree of commercial integration of the main crops (bananas, rice, cocoa, African palm, and tropical fruits) revealing an unequal and fragmented structure. The results highlight problems such as intermediation, limited access to credit, low levels of technification, and weak institutional governance, which limit the competitiveness and sustainability of the territory. The article concludes that strengthening chains with a territorial, inclusive, and sustainable approach is essential to boost the rural economy, reduce inequality, and consolidate an equitable local development model.

This study evaluates the spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd) in soils cultivated with avocado (Persea americana) in different regions of Peru, identifying factors that influence its concentration, such as texture, pH, organic matter, and agricultural practices. It was determined that several areas have elevated levels of Cd, which represents a risk to food safety and exports, especially given the European Union's international standards (Solórzano et al., 2025).
