Aprista government supports farmers with credit and production purchases
The APRA government (1985-1990) implemented policies to support farmers through zero-interest loans and the purchase of production, but the hyperinflation of 1989 prevented the state-owned companies ENCI and ECASA from meeting their payments, generating regional peasant strikes.
One of the most important policies of the APRA government (1985-1990) was the support to farmers through credits at zero interest rates and the purchase of their production. However, with the explosion of hyperinflation in 1989, the State companies ENCI and ECASA were unable to pay for the farmers' products. This situation led the Confederation of Peruvian Peasants (CCP) to promote regional peasant strikes throughout the country. The failure of the State to pay the farmers generated a context of crisis that was exploited by subversive groups to gain support among the peasants.
