However, some companies implemented technical procedures and managed to achieve a higher level of flowering, especially in areas that were not heavily impacted by the rains. </span></p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Cardo, serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; width: 344px;"><span style="--tw-ring-color: rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.5); --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; box-sizing: border-box;">In 2023, Cyclone Yaku brought 52 consecutive days of rain to Peru. In some producing areas, like the San Lorenzo Valley in Piura, the rugged terrain made it almost impossible to drain excess water. This led to quality issues.</span></p><p style="-webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(51, 51, 51); color: #333333; font-family: Cardo, serif; font-size: 19px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; width: 344px;"><span style="--tw-ring-color: rgba(59, 130, 246, 0.5); --tw-ring-inset: var(--tw-empty, ); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; box-sizing: border-box;">"This is a condition we see in many of the fields we work with.

Why such a small percentage? Well, the world's oceans are enormous, reaching an average depth of more than 12,000 feet, and only <a href="https://www.interestingfacts.com/fact/613913c37a91ad00076defa1" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #329185; cursor: pointer;">19%</a> of the ocean floor has been charted in detail. There's also the matter of the money needed to launch expeditions to find these vessels. But times are changing in the realm of wreckage discovery: The digitization of archives has made records more accessible, and the development of technologies such as <a href="https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/rov.html" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #329185; cursor: pointer;">remotely operated vehicles</a> (ROVs) has rendered the searching process less treacherous for explorers.</p></div><div class="IFFactSheet__description IFFactSheet__description--rest" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; box-sizing: inherit; color: #2e3236; font-family: Montserrat, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 16px;"><p style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">So what becomes of most shipwrecks? Some of them are looted for profit, despite <a href="https://en.unesco.org/sites/default/files/usa_shipwreckact_guidelines_enorof.pdf" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #329185; cursor: pointer;">legal efforts</a>to preserve the historical value of their artifacts.

But most others become <a href="https://ocean.si.edu/ecosystems/coral-reefs/when-wrecks-become-reefs" style="box-sizing: inherit; color: #329185; cursor: pointer;">reefs</a> — playgrounds for fish and other varieties of marine life.

In 2021, Vescovo came upon the largely intact WWII destroyer USS Johnston resting some 21,180 feet below the surface of the Philippine Sea. A little more than a year later, Vescovo followed the trail of the Johnston and the Limiting Factor's sonar capabilities to locate another WWII craft, the destroyer escort USS Samuel B.

line-height: 1.15em;"><p>The extreme shortage in the mango market continues and is expected to last another few months due to low production from Peru and Ecuador this season. During Thanksgiving week, there was a temporarily supply relief with the arrival of two vessels from Brazil. Usually, one vessel arrives weekly, but due to the previous vessel being delayed, two vessels arrived at about the same time. “This happened during Thanksgiving week, which is already a low-demand week to begin with,” says Greg Golden with Amazon Produce Network. “These two vessels flooded the market, and it took two weeks to clean up supplies,” he added. As a result, the market was sloppy until early December.</p><p>After that, pricing immediately went back up as the 1 million boxes that arrive into the US each week don’t meet the baseline winter demand of 1.7 to 1.8 million boxes. What is causing the reduced supply? The growing seasons of both Ecuador and Peru have been impacted by rains from El Niño. “Mango trees need to undergo stress to produce fruit,” said Golden. “Typically, the dry season and cool nights provide the stress that causes flowering, but this year the temperatures stayed warm at night and the rains periodically came, reducing the stress on the trees to produce their offspring, the fruit.” This resulted in limited as well as delayed flowering, pushing back the start of the season and causing lower volumes.</p><p><img alt="" class="content_full" sizes="468px" src="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_mangotrees_tweeluik_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall" srcset="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_mangotrees_tweeluik_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall 468w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_mangotrees_tweeluik_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullMedium 800w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_mangotrees_tweeluik_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullBig 1200w" style="max-width: 100%; width: 468px;" /></p><p><strong>Update Ecuador and Peru<br /></strong>Currently, Ecuador is fairly close to finishing its peak season. “After this week, production will drop rapidly,” shared Golden. If the remainder of the season won’t be impacted by early rains, Ecuador will pack light volumes until January 12 with arrivals in the US continuing until the last week of January. According to estimates, Ecuador is expected to finish the season with a volume that is about 50 percent of its normal levels. For Peru, the situation is even more dramatic as the country is expected to ship about 35 percent of its normal volume. The start of Peru’s season was even more delayed than Ecuador and the country is just now getting started. Harvest and packing are expected to continue through mid-March. “In terms of supply from Peru, we are heavily competing with Europe as the continent is the main market for mangos from Peru, followed by the US in second place,” Golden commented.</p><p><strong>Brazil finishing up<br /></strong>Due to the shortages from Ecuador and Peru, Brazil stepped in and shipped a much higher percentage of their supply to the US compared to a normal year. “However, after this week, all pack houses in Brazil will be shutdown for the season except one.” Mexico will get started with Ataulfo mangos in January and Tommy Atkins and Haden mangos from Mexico will start to be packed for the US market in February. At this point in time, the market is not widely accepting of irradiated mangos which are already coming from Mexico. The bulk of the volume to the US from now through February will come from Ecuador and Peru with supply expected to remain around one million boxes per week.</p><p><img alt="" class="content_full" sizes="468px" src="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_gentlemen_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall" srcset="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_gentlemen_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullSmall 468w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_gentlemen_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullMedium 800w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_gentlemen_1200.jpg?preset=ContentFullBig 1200w" style="max-width: 100%; width: 468px;" /><br /><sup><em>From left to right: David Ponce and Gilmar Mello with Amazon Produce Network, Jhonny Cordova and Luis Tuesta with Agrocosta.</em></sup></p><p><strong>Retailers are understanding</strong><br />All in all, it has been a very challenging South American mango season up until now. “At the same time, our retail partners have been very understanding,” commented Golden. “As long as they are informed ahead of time and shortages don’t come as a surprise, they are able to re-allocate their space and promote other items.” Golden does expect demand to be strong as soon as spring comes around and supply increases.</p><p>“There is lots of pent-up demand and retailers will want to get back on track promoting and selling mangos. They will compare their numbers with the previous year and try to move volume. Unless something unexpected happens like a delayed vessel, I believe there won’t be volume to promote round mangos until about mid-April. However, retailers should stay ready and be open to in-store promotions in case the unexpected happens.”</p><p>On the flipside, there will be opportunities for retailers to turn back on the SKU on Ataulfo (Honey) mangos from Mexico as early as mid-February and promote this variety regardless of the shortage of mangos in the “Round” category. “I always advise retailers to concentrate on the Ataulfo variety starting in March until the flood gates open on round mangos.”</p><p><img alt="" class="content_custom_right" src="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/12/20/AmazonProduceNetwork_logo_small.jpg?preset=ContentCustom" style="float: right;

line-height: 1.15em;"><p>The challenges for Peru’s mango producers and exports are starting to mount with volumes to China and the rest of Asia as well as other markets much lower. They also have to compete with Brazil’s lower mango prices. “For this new 2023-2024 season we plan to do 1,000 pallets. But, this year is very challenging because the season is late, there is not much flowering in the fields, the input prices of the field are high as well and the demand is not as expected. There is mango from Brazil at a lower price, which complicates the situation a little more,” says Ana Cotrina, a commercial specialist from the exporter Añay Peruvian Fruits.</p><p><img alt="" class="content_full" sizes="468px" src="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango2.jpeg?preset=ContentFullSmall" srcset="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango2.jpeg?preset=ContentFullSmall 468w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango2.jpeg?preset=ContentFullMedium 800w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango2.jpeg?preset=ContentFullBig 1200w" style="max-width: 100%; width: 468px;" /></p><p>Añay Peruvian Fruits is an exporter of fresh products such as mangoes, avocados and asparagus. Their administrative office is in Lima, but they process mangoes in Tambogrande, Piura at the packing house Interfruits. The Company has a 19 hectarE farm in Tambogrande, and work hand-in-hand with small and big growers in Piura and Casma.</p><p>“Añay, which in the ancestral language of the Andes means thank you. Since the start of the company we were supplying the local market with different fruits, including mangoes, but a strong potential was seen in the foreign market. In 2019, Añay started its exports with avocados to the Netherlands and mangoes to Canada. Nevertheless, nowadays our main market is China. Since then, we’ve specialized in sending mangoes by air focusing on the quality and image of the fruit - the first impression is very important to us.”</p><p>She says in past few seasons they did well with mango exports to China and the rest of Asia. “Regarding mangoes, during 2019-2020 season, we started sending 274 pallets, 70% of them were sent to China and the other pallets were sent to European Union countries that include Spain, France, Netherlands, Italy, Poland.”</p><p><img alt="" class="content_full" sizes="468px" src="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango.jpeg?preset=ContentFullSmall" srcset="https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango.jpeg?preset=ContentFullSmall 468w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango.jpeg?preset=ContentFullMedium 800w, https://www.freshplaza.com/remote/https/agfstorage.blob.core.windows.net/misc/FP_com/2023/11/20/AnyPeruMango.jpeg?preset=ContentFullBig 1200w" style="max-width: 100%; width: 468px;" /></p><p>As exporters Añay are responding to the challenges by adding more mango varieties to the list that they export to meet customer demand in the different markets they serve. “We have always worked with the Kent variety, however, this year we sent our first order of the Edward mango variety to Italy. This was a challenge for us, it was our first time working with this variety, but it helped us to understand this variety more closely. On the other hand, we expect to have fruit until March, but the volume will not be the same as what we can get in January or February during the peak of the season. Under normal circumstances, shipments by air start in October and the peak is between November- January. For the shipments by sea, the peak is between January and February,” concludes Cotrina.</p><p>For more information:<br />Ana Cotrina<br /><strong>Añay Peruvian Fruits</strong><br />Tel: +51 941 116 913<br />Email: <a href="mailto:a.cotrina@aperufv.com?subject=Response%20to%20FreshPlaza.com%20article" rel="noopener" style="color: blue;

Economics―and ultimately, politics―will be enduringly transformed.”</strong><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" /><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">―George Gilder, author of <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Life after Google: The Fall of Big Data</em> <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">and the Rise of the Blockchain Economy</em></strong></p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Inter, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; margin: 0px 0px 19.44444px;">Generations of people have been taught that population growth makes resources scarcer. In 2021, for example, one widely publicized report argued, “The world's rapidly growing population is consuming the planet's natural resources at an alarming rate . . . the world currently needs 1.6 Earths to satisfy the demand for natural resources . . . [a figure that] could rise to 2 planets by 2030.” But is that true?</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Inter, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; margin: 0px 0px 19.44444px;">After analyzing the prices of hundreds of commodities, goods, and services spanning two centuries, Marian Tupy and Gale Pooley found that resources became more abundant as the population grew. That was especially true when they looked at “time prices,” which represent the length of time that people must work to buy something.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Inter, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; margin: 0px 0px 19.44444px;">To their surprise, the authors also found that resource abundance increased faster than the population―a relationship that they call “superabundance.” On average, every additional human being created more value than he or she consumed. This relationship between population growth and abundance is deeply counterintuitive, yet it is true.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Inter, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; margin: 0px 0px 19.44444px;">Why? More people produce more ideas, which lead to more inventions. People then test those inventions in the marketplace to separate the useful from the useless. At the end of that process of discovery, people are left with innovations that overcome shortages, spur economic growth, and raise standards of living.</p><p style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Inter, Roboto, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; margin: 0px;">But large populations are not enough to sustain superabundance―just think of the poverty in China and India before their respective economic reforms. To innovate, people must be allowed to think, speak, publish, associate, and disagree. They must be allowed to save, invest, trade, and profit. In a word, they must be free.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrs6Ei6NhLFRHEDMmM9WMZHWz6JzYewzwMBdWFKgqfHSe1H0gz5IhZV5XjxQ3Js4gwTKYXePGwdADgjyQUlaIQl58yG0N7zHkmK2_auIxM2e_n0ZVl5Q8RbEnld-cHuY0ranaEpJUhyL7G2puh36kkew3jFkSNItbld-5I8f0_uRggeJhpQMLERFnDKlw/s1622/IMG_6346.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

According to the <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/newsevents/news/research/2023/20230515" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #0666e5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">New York Fed’s Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit</a>, total <a href="https://www.statista.com/topics/1203/personal-debt/" style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; color: #0666e5; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; transition: color 0.3s; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">household debt</a> climbed to $17.05 trillion in the first quarter of 2023, an increase of $2.9 trillion since Q4 2019, shortly before the pandemic hit. Unlike their government, most Americans currently have no problem servicing their debt on time, though, with delinquency rates near record lows despite a small uptick in the latest quarter. Looking at total consumer debt, 97.4 percent of the total balance was current or non-delinquent (i.e. all payments made on time or less than 30 days late) in Q1 2023, up from 95.3 in Q4 2019 and from less than 90 percent in the midst of the financial crisis.</p><p style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; border: 0px; margin: 1em 0px 0px; padding: 0px; text-rendering: optimizelegibility; vertical-align: baseline;">The faster-than-usual increase in consumer debt over the past three years was mainly driven by a record volume of mortgage originations, as many households took advantage of historically low rates to refinance their mortgage and even take out some cash in the process. According to the New York Fed, 14 million mortgages were refinanced during the pandemic refinancing boom, during which home owners extracted $430 billion through cash-out refinances. As a result, mortgages accounted for 86 percent of the increase in total consumer debt since Q4 2019, followed by credit card debt and student loans, which accounted for 8 and 3 percent of the increase, respectively.</p></div></div></div><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJv0zzAdAc_6v_yP7gJdAiBaUdTVm-HltKXQXp5EH2h2dgPuD0AVIOok_JdojgsmNiJl1MpcK0Crky1KGkEPHeTv8JbJiJJkuWGv4cFmHm3dB8gp4797m8ZHv3RNgIgh9bLplW1gHgbCrG1m-MnL-Exmg8Tjq-xAhMtisNu_XLEvplTYYmrzvg2e6e/s828/IMG_1122.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="803" data-original-width="828" height="620" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJv0zzAdAc_6v_yP7gJdAiBaUdTVm-HltKXQXp5EH2h2dgPuD0AVIOok_JdojgsmNiJl1MpcK0Crky1KGkEPHeTv8JbJiJJkuWGv4cFmHm3dB8gp4797m8ZHv3RNgIgh9bLplW1gHgbCrG1m-MnL-Exmg8Tjq-xAhMtisNu_XLEvplTYYmrzvg2e6e/w640-h620/IMG_1122.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>will cavan in pictureshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15512311988275643314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5587410345696506386.post-81430403011414780822023-05-27T03:28:00.002-07:002023-05-27T03:28:39.601-07:00CHANCAY PORT WILL BE CHINA’S “BEACH-HEAD” IN LATIN AMERICA <p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWbova0cvSa_VQydM62Ym9-tWDyJBcTETMVF5PQtjpxYMVSxtQAENFC4tTpJw1Qz9im_x9JxTclthRKsgcHDvJ8qxeS5rRjk5SzYY-oHO__paRpJvalDltC_koqJJ3E6E7TDgIntaacZcDCTD1bigPG9AxB3YtxU0PVbK3fwJe3lQrxWa31IYInxB3/s1009/IMG_1088.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1009" data-original-width="828" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWbova0cvSa_VQydM62Ym9-tWDyJBcTETMVF5PQtjpxYMVSxtQAENFC4tTpJw1Qz9im_x9JxTclthRKsgcHDvJ8qxeS5rRjk5SzYY-oHO__paRpJvalDltC_koqJJ3E6E7TDgIntaacZcDCTD1bigPG9AxB3YtxU0PVbK3fwJe3lQrxWa31IYInxB3/w526-h640/IMG_1088.jpeg" width="526" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p> THREE BILLION USD INVESTMENT WILL CHANGE PERU LANDSCAPE FOREVER:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://dialogo-americas.com/articles/chinas-network-of-ports-grows-in-latin-america/">https://dialogo-americas.com/articles/chinas-network-of-ports-grows-in-latin-america/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>MEANWHILE USA PREPARES TO SEND TROOPS TO PERU FOR JOINT OPERATIONS:</p><p><a href="https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/why-are-us-military-personnel-heading-peru">https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/why-are-us-military-personnel-heading-peru</a></p><p><br /></p><p>“<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; caret-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87); font-family: __Source_Sans_3_f9cc9d, __Source_Sans_3_Fallback_f9cc9d, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, "Nimbus Sans L", sans-serif; font-size: 19.200001px;">Chancay is known as a sleepy fishing and farming town, about 50 miles north of Peru’s capital, Lima.
