MARIA, Alberto Luis Pantaleón Santa et al. Dynamics of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) production and exports in Peru. Rev. Inv. Cs. Agro. y Vet. [online]. 2024, vol.8, n.22, pp.84-94.  Epub Jan 20, 2024. ISSN 2664-0902.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistaalfa.v8i22.250.

In Peru there is a growth in the production of quinoa, which is destined for export, that is why the dynamics of the production and export of quinoa in Peru in the period 2012 to 2022 is analyzed, where the production variable is analyzed on an annual basis, through the production area, yield, annual production; the export variable with FOB value, volume and unit price; as well as determining the main destination markets and the main exporting companies. A documentary research was carried out with a quantitative approach, descriptive correlational scope and non-experimental design, longitudinal type. Data were obtained from the National Superintendency of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT), the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI) as Peruvian government agencies, and the Food and Agriculture Statistics of the United Nations (FAO STAT) as the international entity that records data to determine the research indicators. It was concluded that the production of quinoa is growing steadily with an annual average of 14% and that in recent years this growth has not been maintained. The dynamics of exports has maintained its growth in the 11 years of the study, but in the last 8 years it has been -8%, which is alarming. Exports as a share of production is increasing every year, with an average share of 46%, almost half of what is produced is destined for export. The main destination market for quinoa exports is the United States, followed by Canada, the Netherlands and Italy, and the main exporting companies are Alisur and Olam Global Agri Peru.
