Higher incomes for family farmers are the aim of the programme, targeted at upland operations, via 1,000 million Peruvian Nuevo sol for investing 1,500 metres above sea level.
This year a further 200 million N sol is to be directed towards upland hill farms.
The programme also includes an irrigation package allowing intensive use of pastures by reducing limitations on water supply to crops.
