Current status and economic value of insect-pollinated dependent crops in Latin America by Basualdo, Marina, Cavigliasso, Pablo, Avila Jr., Rubem Samuel de, Aldea-Sánchez, Patricia, Correa-Benítez, Adriana, Martínez Harms, Jaime, Ramos, Ana Karen, Rojas-Bravo, Valeska, Salvarrey, Sheena

“…Current losses of wild and managed pollinators are a threat to agricultural production because the productivity of many crops depends on entomophilous pollination; thus, consequences could be significant for the development of regional economies. We assess the current importance of pollination service for the main crops of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay, which represent approximately 74% of the total surface of LA. …”

The economic cost of losing native pollinator species for orchard production by Pérez-Méndez, Néstor, Andersson, Georg K.S., Requier, Fabrice, Hipólito, Juliana, Aizen, Marcelo Adrian, Morales, Carolina Laura, García, Nancy, Gennari, Gerardo Pablo, Garibaldi, Lucas Alejandro

“…This study highlights the pervasive consequences of losing key pollinator functional groups, such as bumblebees, for apple production and local economies. Adopting pollinator-friendly practices such as minimizing the use of synthetic inputs or restoring/maintaining semi-natural habitats at farm and landscape scales, will have the double advantage of promoting biodiversity conservation, and increasing crop productivity and profitability for local farmers. …”
