Situation
The project aims to implement the following four objectives: 1. Develop and adapt agronomic solutions for the use of bioinputs, based on validated data, in order to address the main constraints affecting productivity and quality through applied research and validation in demonstration plots. 2. Strengthen local technical capacities through knowledge transfer, field days, methodological guidance, and the involvement of doctoral students, aligning scientific research with production practices. 3. Promote opportunities for added-value creation and market access through applied studies on mango- and sugarcane-derived products, as well as through coordination with private-sector companies. 4. Consolidate a model of technical and scientific cooperation that ensures context-specific, adaptive, and sustainable solutions, integrated into the value chain development approaches promoted in Peru.
