Peru

Agriculture accounts for 7.1% of Peru's GDP and 25.7% of employment. Agriculture has traditionally played an important role in the Peruvian economy and is the second major source of export earnings for the country after the sale of minerals.

At the beginning of the XXI century, Peru managed to achieve notable successes in socio-economic development, especially in the mid-2000s – early 2010s, when the average annual growth rate of real GDP of the republic was about 5-6%.
