V. Recomendations
In agricultural sector , more support from the government to the small producers.
Preventive measures against El Niño phenomenon, in order to protect culture fields

In mining sector , control of pollutions to mining companies, in order to protect culture fields, water resources and population around.
In textile sector , more support from the government to small producer
Strong fight against contraband and second hand cloths import
Create laws in order to protect Peruvian producers against Asia cloths import with low prices.
In fishing sector , the target is to develop its fishing sector beyond the anchoveta, especially products for exporting like prawns, shells and others.
In transport sector , make a review of the EIA for the Inter-Oceanic highway, in order to prevent disasters socio-environmental.
