Abstract

Land Reform in Peru
Flores, Edmundo | February 16, 1970 issue

add to cart   close window

Agriculture in Peru employs approximately 65 per cent of the labor force and produces 15 per cent of the national product. Before the land reforms, it could not possibly have been in worse shape. Over the past decade, population has increased at the average rate of 3 per cent annually, agriculture at only 2 per cent. This disparity intensified hunger and raised food imports from $67 million in 1960 to $160 million in 1966. Emergency food grants under U.S. Public Law 480 amounted to more than $32 million from 1954 to 1966.
