Midagri: double island guano by 2023
On the other hand, Vice Minister Barrantes explained that, at the end of 2022, 15,356 MT of island guano were sold to 21,894 beneficiaries.
By 2023, it is projected to double this volume and market 29,778 MT, benefiting 38,175 new farmers who are beneficiaries of Midagri.
Finally, Barrantes Bravo assured that island guano is a substantial advantage in Peru to supply fields with organic fertilizers, but regretted that production had suffered a setback due to bird flu in recent months.
“Evidently, in the final part of the year, the presence of the influence of avian flu reduced the extraction. However, for this 2023 we plan to sell almost double ”, he highlighted.
