Is the Peruvian State considering industrialization?

The objective answer is: No.

Despite the fact that in much of history, Peru officially proposed its industrialization, be it the State of the Liberal Revolution of 1865 (later, the Aristocratic Republic in its first stage), and the developmental State (since the second government of Manuel Prado until the hyperinflationary crisis in 1987).

We refer to the tests.

The Bicentennial Plan is the only governement document that expresses what is desirable in the medium term in our country in terms of production, as it appears in the following table:

Proposals for prioritization of productive sectors in Peru

Monitor Study Michael Porter	National Vision Council	S&T Program Peru IDB	Organizing Commission of CEPLAN	National Export Plan
Agroindustry	Agroindustry	Agriculture and agribusiness	Agriculture (organic and fruit growing) Production of pharmaceutical compounds extracted from native medicinal plants	Agriculture and agribusiness
Mining	Mining and metallurgy		Mining of precious metals and common metals) and related services	Jewelery and goldsmithing. Capital intensive services
Fishing and aquaculture	Fishing and aquaculture	Fishing and aquaculture	Fishing and aquaculture (production of canned and prepared fish)	Fishing and aquaculture
Textile and clothing		Textile and clothing (cotton, wool and fine hair)	Textile and clothing	Textile and clothing
Tourism	Tourism		Tourism (in its different approaches: cultural, ecological, etc.)	Tourism and crafts
			Wood, furniture and wooden articles	Wooden forestry
	Telecommunications	Information technology		Services (software and others)
			Goods and services related to natural gas

As will be appreciated, of the 8 items mentioned, only two belong to the transformation, textiles and clothing and metallurgy sector, and even one is from the light industry.

That is to say, the same country-farm scheme as always, outside the Knowledge Society, questioned for centuries by the most prominent figures in Peru, such as Manuel Pardo and Santiago Antúnez de Mayolo.

Compare with the proposals made by this simple blog of a National Industrial Plan (See post 01, 02 and 03) and in academic articles.

Would you want this for your nation, dear reader?
