Under the leadership of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (MIDAGRI), more than 50,085 coffee and cacao polygons have already been geolocated, laying the foundation for more transparent and competitive agriculture, aligned with new international trade standards.

This progress extends to 13 key regions: San Martín, Junín, Cajamarca, Amazonas, Cusco, Ayacucho, Huánuco, Ucayali, Pasco, Piura, Puno, Loreto, and Madre de Dios. Cajamarca (11,495), San Martín (8,167), and Junín (6,742) are leading this transformation.

Each geolocated point represents more than just a technical piece of data: it's a visible family, an integrated community, and a positioned region. Geolocation becomes a key tool for inclusion, territorial development, and market access.

A polygons is the digital representation of that parcel (a producer's physical unit of land, defined by its boundaries and usable for crops or other purposes) in a geographic information system. That is, the closed drawing drawn on a map to delimit it and obtain its coordinates.

The EUDR: An Opportunity for Peru


The European Deforestation-Free Products Regulation (EUDR) requires that products such as coffee and cacao exported to Europe must not originate from deforested areas after December 31, 2020. To comply with this regulation, it is essential to accurately demonstrate the origin of each crop.

Geolocation of parcels is not just a technical requirement; it's a gateway to the international market. Far from being an obstacle, the EUDR encourages the country to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability.

With this strategy, Peruvian producers gain access to new commercial opportunities, while the Country strengthens its planning, governance, and environmental monitoring capacity. In short: geolocation is not just about locating a plot of land; it's about securing the future of Peruvian agriculture in the global market.
