| description | Price and trade, credit, research, and extension policies and their impact on agriculture in Peru are analyzed. The status of cassava consumption, production, and distribution is reviewed to determine potential and projected demand. Time series data and results of a household survey conducted by CIAT (1986) were used to calculate the effects of income, prices, and urbanization trends on the per capita consumption of cassava. Agriculture has been adversely affected by policy-induced distortions. By the year 2000, cassava production will have to expand by ca. 20,000 t, just to meet the demand due to population growth. In the humid forest areas, cassava is a major staple, competing favorably with other crops even under the present policies. To make fresh cassava from the humid forests available for urban consumers, CIAT's new conservation technology will have to be introduced; the project's success also depends on infrastructure development. The potential demand for cassava chips for animal feed will become effective if the support price already established by the Government is set as a fixed proportion (75 percent) of the price for yellow maize.

(CIAT) Se analizan las politicas de precios y comercio, credito, investigacion y extension y su impacto en la agricultura peruana. Se revisa el estado del consumo, la produccion y la distribucion de yuca para determinar la demanda potencial y la esperada. Se utilizaron datos de estudios en serie a intervalos definidos y los resultados de una encuesta a domicilio realizada por CIAT (1986) para estimar los efectos de los ingresos, los precios y las tendencias de urbanizacion en el consumo per capita de yuca. Las distorciones inducidas por las politicas han afectado negativamente la agricultura. Para el ano 2000, se necesitara un incremento en la produccion de yuca de aprox. 20,000 t solo para satisfacer la demanda que resulta del crecimiento de la poblacion. En areas de bosques humedos, la yuca es un cultivo importante que compite favorablemente con otros cultivos, aun dentro de las politicas actuales. Para poder ofrecer yuca fresca cultivada en bosques humedos a los consumidores urbanos, se debera introducir la nueva tecnologia de conservacion desarrollada por CIAT. El exito del proyecto tambien depende del desarrollo de una infraestructura apropiada. La demanda potencial para trozos de yuca para alimentacion animal se hara efectiva si el precio de apoyo ya establecido por el gobierno se establece como un porcentaje fijo (75 por ciento) del precio del maiz amarillo.
