The most recent is the new Cochas reservoir, an infrastructure of almost 1,000 cubic meters that will irrigate fields for 40 farming families.
Lima, December 5, 2025. More than 190 producer families in the districts of San Miguel and Anchihuay (La Mar, Ayacucho) benefited from the construction of seven reservoirs and irrigation systems developed by PERU LNG, with the aim of increasing cultivation areas and strengthening food production in the region. This initiative represented an overall investment of more than 532 thousand soles.
The works, which were executed in coordination with the community authorities and the farmers themselves, were carried out during the month of November of this year. From now on, they will jointly irrigate more than 90 hectares, strengthening the agricultural capacity of the communities.
The most recent intervention is the Cochas reservoir, which has a capacity of 914 m³, 4 km of pipeline and will irrigate 30 hectares for the benefit of 40 families. This work was built thanks to the company's investment and the contribution of 138 community workdays, strengthening the shared value model between the company and the population.
Throughout the month, six additional projects were also delivered: Pallca Campesino Group reservoir (5 hectares, 30 families benefited); Putacca irrigation system (4 hectares, 15 families benefited); Ccatun Pallca irrigation infrastructure (6 hectares, 10 families benefited); Anchihuay reservoir (20 hectares, 30 families benefited); Allpacorral reservoir (20 hectares, 35 families benefited); and Pampanhuaylla reservoir (10 hectares, 30 families benefited). All of these reservoirs make efficient use of water availability and ensure up to two agricultural seasons per year, promoting local crops such as peaches, corn, quinoa, potatoes, peas and avocado for the domestic market.
“These projects are made possible by working together with the communities. They participate in the planning, execution and care of the infrastructure. Our objective is to generate conditions for families to strengthen their productive activities in a sustainable manner.”said Bruno Valdez, spokesman for PERU LNG.
With these works, the company reaffirms its commitment to agricultural development and the economic strengthening of the Ayacucho communities.
