THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR A. General 1/ 1.01 Agriculture contributes about 13% to Peru's GDP, but it occupies more than 42% of the labor force and accounts for about 22% of total merchan- dise exports. Food processing employs an additional 4% of the labor force and contributes about 9% of the GDP. The value of food production at constant prices increased only at an average of 1% per annum from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, while, during the same period, population increased by an average of 2.9% per annum. Consequently, the country's dependence on imported food- stuffs has grown substantially, mainly in dairy products, pulses, vegetable oils and grains such as wheat and maize. At the same time, the volume of agricultural exports declined and by 1975/76 was only about 60% of its 1962/63 level. As a result, the value of agricultural imports as a percentage of agri- cultural exports has increased
