the Apurimac region, with its wealth and poverty, there!
Apurimac (Peru), which in the Quechua language means the God who speaks (although it says it means the speaker as God) is the poorest department of Peru after-o be more precise with-Huancavelica. Apurimac is the expression of raw human reality of poverty and extreme poverty in the twenty-first century and third millennium. (Main Picture Wikipedia).
However, Apurimac is also an emporium of riches. Its people, its agricultural resources, tourism, mining, etc. constitute the main potential sources to build sustained and sustainable development and requires the promotion of productive business transformation, we need investment in the agricultural, mining and fisheries projects require large economic and social development, also requires environmental management strategies to mitigate, control and prevent pollution.
In the agriculture sector are identified, inter alia, the following basic needs: application of technology to the production (and productivity) of corn and potatoes (grown more traditional products), expansion of agricultural frontiers, use of alternative crops (fruits, maca, herbs, quinoa, quiwicha), agricultural industrialization.
in livestock: application of technology in production (and productivity) of traditional livestock (sheep, cattle and llamas that are the most commonly occurring), introduction and mass production of small animals (guinea pigs, pigs, goats, poultry), promotion of the livestock industry.
In the tourism sector: scientific investigations of the tourist potential, including archeology and crafts department, building tours and travel packages (big is the role of newly created "Apurimac Canyon Trust"), exploitation of archaeological and as the thermal baths, upgrade of the festivals and customs, revival of the craft, creation of web pages on the Internet.
In the mining sector (recall that Apurimac is "National Mining Reserve"): policies to protect the interests of the department and ecology, foreign investment promotion to work hand in hand with small-scale mining, and so on. It is important to note, finally, promoting the development of Apurimac in the conditions explained, necessarily requires the business.
Because of its great potential, Apurimac, may well become one of the most productive agricultural regions of the country (potatoes, llamas, small animals, non-traditional products, etc.).
gradual but steady solution of large and secular economic and social problems Apurimac requires a vision of development in the medium and long term, poverty (and extreme poverty) in the impoverished region of the country can not be resolved with a short-term thinking. Do not forget that it is officially Apurímac Human Development Index (HDI) lower (last place) of Peru as an underdeveloped country and has that reality for centuries.
This means that there is a clear need to visualize the social economic development in the region of Apurimac large projects based on strategic development and long-term preservation of the environment, they must transcend the short periods duration regional governments in office (four years). Acquire historical importance that regional government has a vision and long term (5, 10, 20, 30) the development of Apurimac, which trace the long road to genuine sustainable development and sustainable and therefore has a Development Strategic Plan Apurímac medium and long term as part of a macro-regional and national development while preserving the environment, with full capacity to run as its period corresponds to the following governments of the region to continue the track.
Apurímac regional governments also need full capacity leadership to drive and lead the people towards sustainable development in the region. "Governing the people listening and obeying" is not the role of regional governments today. With this theme you can bring together fans, win elections, to deceive with lies and demagoguery to people, but the region is losing, because gradually out of poverty and extreme poverty that lasts for centuries requires solid Apurimac region's governments really lead, coordinate, direct, to visualize the developing medium and long term, in short, we need governments in the region leading to his people through the correct path of authentic sustainable regional development (and sustainable).
