La agricultura en la Amazonia ribereña del río Ucayali: ¿una zona productiva pero poco rentable?

Abstract: La riqueza de los suelos aluviales a lo largo de los ríos amazónicos permite altos rendimientos en los cultivos. En el Perú, esta característica ha sido sustento de propuestas que sugieren concentrar la agricultura amazónica en sus riberas. Sin embargo, la viabilidad económica de la agricultura ribereña sigue siendo desconocida. Este artículo usa un modelo agroeconómico y analiza la rentabilidad de la agricultura ribereña del río Ucayali en las cercanías de Pucallpa. Se da énfasis a la importancia de las disti… Show more

“…The same Article grants Shipibo and Ashaninka communal land rights. However, land tenure is not as secure for mestizos (Yanggen and Reardon 2001), and certainly not for farmers cultivating on riverbanks, which are highly fertile but exposed to unpredictable flooding (Labarta et al 2007). 1 Most farmers in our sample take part in economic activities beyond maize cultivation, such as hunting or periodic wage labour outside their village.…”

“…Pois as dimensões são compatíveis com a navegação por entre matas inundadas (AYRES, 2006), a capacidade de navegar em chavascais e águas com obstáculos também pôde ser atingida devido ao pequeno calado da embarcação, além de ter maior segurança em regiões com tocos submersos, devido as garrafas PET "estanques". As várzeas amazônicas têm assegurado a sobrevivência de grupos humanos, desde os primórdios de sua ocupação, que remonta a milhares de anos (LABARTA, 2007;RAPOZO, 2011;RIBEIRO;TOURINHO;SANTANA, 2004;). O aerobarco possibilitará uma maior eficiência nas operações de transporte dos ribeirinhos, principalmente nestas áreas que são de difícil acesso para embarcações com hélices aquáticas.…”

“…Although flood recessional agriculture promises higher yields, farmers face the risk of crop loss to flood waters. Flood risk that shortens the growing season and imperils the livelihoods of floodplain farmers is a major impediment for development of the agricultural potential of the lowlands of Amazonia (Petrick, 1978;Junk, 1982;Barrow, 1985;Chibnik, 1994;Smith et al, 1995;Padoch et al, 1999;Kvist and Nebel, 2001;Labarta et al, 2007). and its formative tributaries are likely to have important effects on riparian ecosystems, aquatic life and recessional agriculture in the lowlands.…”
