Crece la producción de arroz y frijoles en Panamá, en el periodo agrícola 2022-2023

The National Institute of Statistics and Census reports significant growth in Panama’s agricultural output for rice and beans during the 2022–2023 cycle. Rice cultivation expanded in both area and yield, driven by strong performance in key provinces, while bean production saw substantial gains in harvested quantities. This positive trend underscores increased domestic capacity for these essential staples, reflecting resilient local farming sectors despite regional variations in provincial performance. Conversely, maize production presents a mixed picture: harvested volumes increased significantly despite a notable reduction in cultivated area. This divergence suggests improved efficiency or productivity per hectare, although the report notes that final data for the maize cycle were excluded from the final compilation. The concentration of maize production in specific provinces indicates a highly localized industry vulnerable to regional climate or economic shifts. This data is crucial for open data initiatives, as it demonstrates how granular, publicly accessible statistical information can reveal complex agricultural dynamics. By making detailed provincial and crop-specific metrics available, citizens and researchers can analyze food security trends and resource allocation. Transparent access to such high-quality government datasets fosters evidence-based policy-making and encourages independent analysis of Panama’s food supply chain stability.
