The study assessed how precision technologies—such as sensors, GIS, and drones—relate to agricultural input management in the San Martín region of Peru. Based on surveys of 120 producers, it found that productivity and sustainability positively influence efficient input management, while costs, limited infrastructure, and resistance to change are the main barriers to their adoption

This study characterizes goat production systems in the Peruvian Amazonian tropical dry forest using multivariate analysis. Productive, reproductive, nutritional, health, and socioeconomic variables were evaluated to identify producer typologies and understand the dynamics affecting the efficiency of the goat system. The analysis allowed for the distinction of groups with differentiated practices and varying levels of technology, which is key to designing interventions aimed at improving productivity and sustainability (Rodríguez et al., 2025).

8.9% of the 497 productive articulation initiatives (PAI) (20 countries, 2023–2025) prioritize product or process innovation as their strategic focus, according to the report (ECLAC, 2025).

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).

A study of 159 Gyr crossbred dairy cows under tropical conditions in Peru compared two estrus synchronization protocols (conventional PC9 vs. extended J-Synch6) for follicular timed induction (FTAI) and evaluated their relationship with heat stress index (THI) in seven critical phases of the program. Both protocols showed similar estrus and pregnancy rates, but J-Synch6 produced larger preovulatory follicles, and its estrus manifestation was more sensitive to hours without heat stress (THI < 72) and to stress peaks (THI ≥ 83) during the follicular growth phase (Vásquez et al., 2025).

This study phenotypically characterizes 74 wild accessions of Myrciaria dubia (camu camu) from the INIA ex situ germplasm bank to identify variability relevant for genetic improvement, conservation, and sustainable use programs. Morphological, physical, and fruit quality characteristics were evaluated, revealing a wide diversity that can be used to select genotypes with higher yield and quality Imán (Correa et al., 2025).

This study assessed the use of coffee by-products (mucilage, pulp, and yogurt) as starter cultures in semi-wet fermentation. Significant sugar reduction and enhanced formation of desirable aromatic compounds raised the cup score from 84 (control) to 86.7, qualifying it as specialty coffee (Díaz Medina, J. A. et al., 2024).
