Abstract
The study aimed to determine the short- and long-term effects of agricultural exports on Peru's economic growth during the period 2012-2023, through a descriptive, correlational and explanatory approach with a non-experimental and longitudinal design. The information was obtained from BCRP and INEI data repositories, applying the document review technique. To analyze the data, a time series econometric model (VAR) was developed for the variables GDP, agricultural exports, exchange rate and accumulated inflation, where the causal relationship between exports and growth was corroborated with impulse-response tests, evidencing in Model 3 (*p=0.003709) a rejection of the null hypothesis of non-causality at a significance level of less than 5%. therefore, it is concluded that there is statistical evidence to affirm that Peruvian agricultural exports have an effect on the country's economic growth, with a lag of 3 periods. The results show the importance of the short- and long-term effects of agricultural exports on Peruvian economic growth.
