On July 22, 2026, the Peruvian National Confederation of Beekeepers (Conapi) raised concerns about the impact of the El Niño phenomenon on coastal beekeeping and national agro-exportation. While the government focuses on river and creek cleaning, Conapi warns that the situation could jeopardize the over 200,000 hives in the coastal region, which are vital for pollinating crops aimed at international markets. Past El Niño events have shown that extreme rainfall and humidity can lead to significant hive losses, with nearly 30% affected during the last occurrence.
