Quinoa Prices Crashed. Farmers Still Harvest 100,000 Tons A Year | Big Business | Business Insider
It's such a pleasant surprise to hear that the farmers are actually benefiting from their hard work.
Farmers work extra hard on cocaine.
Ahahahahaha it gives me such joy and pleasure to see globalisation have come full circle to bite the no 3 world dwellers on the ass.....one upon a time less than a generation ago,15,20 years....the floodgates opened and the dams burst upon the world allowing the hordes upon hordes in the millions to descend upon the first world civilisation and tore the job market and wages and livelihood to ribbons and shreds and exporting millions upon tens of millions of jobs overseas.
Now globalisation and the insatiable greed of capitalists has come full circle and gone a level further,what used to be the staple and rice bowls of no 3 world nations,have been stolen and exported to other countries and coupled with advanced technology setting up massive prosuction and competing the farmers to death.oh the irony!!!!how does it feel to have the capitalists and corporations and politicians sell u and the country out??in a race to the bottom where only the top 1% wins and all of us loses???
And business insider wants us to weep for them
lmao. they are benefiting from being exploited. 1 dollar for 2 lbs of grain. lmao.
@@DieselRamcharger shyt thats way better than the guys who were paid $4 for a ton of salt.
@@jont2576 at least you dont have to grow the salt....just scoop it up. Salt today is worth about 80 dollars per ton. Quinoa is 3700 per ton.
Good lesson in long term economics. Smart of the farmers to spend to the money on education because the knew the golden years would end but with educated children the have secured there future even through changing times and uncertainty.
And I'm guessing they didn't graduate in gender studies.
@@bradleyakulov3618 ah yes relevant comment
Clever really, it suprised me that theyd manage to send their kids off given how important it seems to have them around to keep the business going. Hopefully the educations will allow them to expand and keep going in other industries.
@@callamthompson6609 It is.
Gender studies is a synonym for unemployment.

Between war, waste, and climate change, we need as much variety in crops as possible. I hope they’re able to preserve all their varieties successfully and on their own terms.
Hope they are also producing safely without heavy chemical fertilisers and pesticides
You mean global warming?
@@hunterhq295 its Peru, that shit is banned there. It’s all organic.

It was a great pleasure to film this amazing Peruvian food!!
I hope that the locals will be able to enjoy it more often now that the price is stabilizing.

More often? It’s a staple food. They eat it nearly every day.
I've heard some locals can no longer afford it because the price has multiplied several times.
@@IronJmo need to switch cocaine production instead
@@bmxfreakxyo False. Its mostly potato and corn. Qinua is absolutelly unaffordable.
I had a hard time losing weight, but having quinoa along with other cooked veges such as mushroom and broccoli, along with green salad actually helps me lose weight. (i only had it during lunch) I dont feel bloated even if i eat a full plate of greens with quinoa and in time, it makes me feel less tired in the morning.
Love quinoa forever
It's so wonderful to hear that the indigenous Peruvian farmers are actually benefiting from this successful crop. ☘️
I travelled Peru for a whole month only weeks before Covid came. Puno was a beautiful place, the elevation makes manual labor and hiking is much harder if you come from the sea level like me haha.
Say hello to my friends in Satipo. We built a church there in 2007 😊
this is why God invented cocaine to equalize the productivity.

Ojibwa still grow wild rice and did for thousands of years
9:24 I think there might be an issue in translation here, because only 17 varieties being stored of the "thousands" of varieties mentioned before, just sounds kinda pitiful
That’s what she actually said in Spanish, 17😵💫 I was also like wtf
Depends. In a tropical country with plentiful rainfall like mine it's more efficient to just grow rice. The per hectare yield alone is much much higher than other grains. And the focus should be what's grown locally, instead of importing stuff
Yeah but I think I'd like to try growing this. We don't have a farm so it'll be nice to have some grains in the backyard. Corn would probably be better but maybe quinoa and amaranth can be grown during months not suitable for corn.
@@nunyabiznes33 Why would you need it? For animal feeed? For sale?
@@jumper4ever937 I just want to see if it grow here. Maybe just personal consumption. The only grains grown in my country are rice and corn so I'm curious about other grains and pseudograins.
That is the point of globalisation kiddo,, global trading for which people can have more options for super food,, it is not designed to provide the majority of the populations
So true, one should grow what is natural for his/her locality.
Excellent way to support Peru farmers - buy their quinoa!
2:42 "The plant acts as a mild stimulant"
Oh, I bet it does!
Lol that’s why the guy couldn’t wait for the prayer to end before eating it I suppose haha
Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
When served on a bed of coca leaves.
So does coffee bean...
@@jonathansuarez8338 Only when isolated. Tomato has salt in it. Salt can be very dangerous when used isolated and in high amounts. But tomato is not considered risky because of its salt content. Coca leaves are mild stimulants when consumed mildly and as a whole.
My daughter and I love quinoa. I eat it with coconut for breakfast most days. I hope the farmers will be ok.
Their harvest bore them good fruit already.
Its just a grain and shouldn't be costing that much more than other grains. Its was a supply and demand issue, which is getting better and I'm happy I can afford to eat it lot more often now.
You should rather worry about the poor farmers who never once reaped a tiny fortune
Few years ago, I met an agriculture engineer working in several crops in the north coast of Peru where agroexporting companies are producing different products like asparagus, avocado, blackberries, etc and for some years quinoa to export to Europe but after some harvesting season they realized quinoa from the coast are not the same with quinoa harvesting in the Andes that has more nutrients, vitamins and proteins according to some studies european authorities did after they got quinoa from the coast of Peru. So, after this issue for the agroexport companies wirh the low nutrients quinoa they got, it was sold locally wirh a low prices, meanwhile quinoa from the Andes are more demanding now and mostly of it is organic so it take time to produce it.
I hope they're branding and labeling this properly. It would be bad if the lower grade quinoa are labelled as Andes quinoa by scammers.
@@TubersAndPotatoes That definitely would be a huge stick, on one hand even if they have proper nutritional labeling on a package who amongst the people who consume it actually know what values it should have? If it's sold in bulk in stores though, may not be any labeling rules other than "quinoa". But more likely than not the people selling it simply rebag bulk amounts (similar to rice) and use a standard nutritional guide label which would be an outright lie, but who knows how often those labels need to be updated.
I am from the UK. I have seen some of the BIGGEST Peruvian grapes available here in the UK. Am very surprised that it could grow to that size. But much appreciated. The sunshine does indeed do something for those fruits' photosynthesis... I just hope that these farmers, literally suppress their growth, and be a LOT smarter as well. Cos prices and productions CAN grow AND shrink. Do not assume that it can stay like this forever. But do build and secure yourself, and save the rest of the money for a rainy day. That's the advice that I can say. Especially with the way the globe is now. Having Quinoa as a secondary grain that can be mixed as a staple... to make breads or whatever.. Well.. if they could literally refine it and done the milling in Peru.. and then let the baking of goods be done abroad.. (that could past their local food production category).. isn't that a lot better??? Most people don't buy cos they don't know what it involves in the processing method as well. And also, not everybody across the globe have the same metabolism when it comes to consuming certain food type. So... Let those nations and countries figure out the ratios. This is not something that Peru should push for either. Cos it just ends up with no market. Especially if you ruin the reputation of the produce itself.
@@Mike__B : It is like rice, nobody would know how to cook or eat it. And to be honest, not all food produce could be eaten in Europe. Cos their genetic ancestries doesn't allow them to produce or to eat certain types of good? So this has to be controlled.. As much as there are a lot of different foreign foods available now in the UK. I think we are nearing that point of "poisoning ourselves" with the way which we consume any old thing. Rice is similar as well... Most people who are grown up with rice, knows how to cook it properly.. the process is long, and it is controlled.. and it is tedious... But we should really have a strong control point as well. I am already starting to see "cannabis in oat milk".... which I am screaming at, AND about !!!!! Who let that one through the door? It is absolutely crazy. Quinoas.. at the moment are sold via "health food shops", many people, DO associate it more as "medicine" than they are "food items". This is a bit of a loophole.. but those who wants to deal with these kind of things, NEED to be ethical in how they market this product as well. Look at what a mess we have made regarding rice, or soya beans. No wonder people are going crazy... and why local quinoas are being sold. i.e. the kind that is genetically compatible with the local population. If I bought this, I would like they do.. mill it, and powderise it and cook it as an addition to soup like barleys. If consumed as a whole grain.. I presume that it is merely for as a fibre, than anything. Cos the body cannot break it down. And we should not try to do so. There is a lot of ignorance in knowing how to treat grains in the UK in general... so...
wrrg
The one who deserve get most benefit from crops is none than the farmer itself, but they also need to keep caring the soil or mother earth itself, which the source of life.
I've got to spend time in Peru someday. It's such an amazing place with incredible people.
One of the very few good news this year. I love Quinoa more than any other carb (sweet potato close second),I even grow in my backyard because of high price.
Good to know. I'll buy some.
It would help them a lot if they stopped growing this as a monocultures, and had used polycultures to increase yields, soil moisture and soil quality...
Polyculture can increase yields per plant, but decrease gross yields per acre.
They also require much greater manpower to cultivate, and greater skill.
Polyculture isn't cost effective at scale. It is ideal for gardens or household farms.
@@merlinious01 monocultures, in many cases, tend to decrease total annual yields over time. Look at places like India, where monoculture grain has caused an increase in pests, causing an increase in pesticide. Over time, their soil nutrients have diminished to almost zero, meanwhile, they’re poisoning themselves for a crop so high in demand, they have to keep taking out loans to support.
They’re literally in debt to a system that’s slowly killing them and have no other option than to dig a deeper hole.
Your points aren’t wrong about costing more time etc. but we’ve have plenty of time and data to show that a monoculture is in no way beneficial to the farmer, yield, or economy in the long term. Short term gains, even a generations worth of gains, does not equal lifetimes of prosperity for them or the planet unfortunately.
@@merlinious01 MUNE is right, you know. Business school types are going to have to get over maximizing profit sooner rather than later; they're profiting themselves right out of an economy as we speak...
Do you really belive that they could grow anything other than quinoa in that dry unirigated area, or that they didn't try to grow other things there before the quinoa craze? You couldn't grow wheat, barley, canola or corn. You could maybe get away with sunflowers but then you have the issue that they don't seem to have a lack of large farming equipment, which is necessary to make any of those less expensive grains worthwhile to grow. They could basically either continue with a monoculture or convert their fields to pastures for cattle. At least that's the impression I get from the farms in this video.
Yeah - the more ancient and local one can eat, the healthier. It can be a rough learning curve, though, as the knowledge of these grains and how to use them have been lost in large part over the centuries just as the native tribes that contained this knowledge have been decimated. These isolated areas of Peru are a special example where that has not happened to such a degree.
I just realized I have ate this before when I was a body builder, it was actually great! Watching this really got my education on from this video!
Those are really awesome hats.
Superfood is a marketing term. Essentially, it means nothing.

God bless this amazing grain called Quinoa. I eat it everyday.
How do you eat it? I tried it but can’t say I liked it which is a shame because it’s supposed to be very healthy.
@@clairee4939 I usually mix with fruits , specially banana and strawberry. I prefer to use quinoa flakes instead of the grain itself. Try to do a mix with banana , strawberry, peanut butter , honey and quinoa. So good.

@@olilori8635 very true but they are worth more
Any food is good as long as it has been grown in the country where it is consumed. I use to buy food as much closer to my place as I can, no matter the price.
Why?
@@Imaboss8ball shorter transport = less fuel and fresher product. Supporting local economy and traditions. Less risk to spread pests around the world. Less food waste, less packaging...and I'm proud of the family run agricolture of my valley. We are picking up chesnuts and walnuts this month and for us they are the best in the world. Most of them are sold locally without middlemen. 100%bio and pesticides free.
The price may have 'crashed' but it is still a multiple of what it was in early 2000s.
Bordeaux wine, champagne, tequila - all specific to their region. You can't grow blue agave just anywhere and call it 'tequila'.
They started to organize, but should have capitalized better on their own specific varieties market the Juan Valdez of Quinoa with that seal of approval.
That's what "Quinua Real" is meant for. To give the original producers a denomination of origin.
Yes , remember elders talking about quinoa . Even Lakota people had some thru trade .
It’s because South American people were in North America first.
Even tho the prices went down..it's stll expensive to the average man where I'm from..
It's cheaper to buy rice
If you have a Trader Joe’s nearby, their quinoa is pretty cheap. It’s double the price at other grocery stores in my city

In the 1780's, there were hundreds of apple cultivars in the USA. Now, there are like 5. Thanks capitalism!

@@BoxStudioExecutive Wow producers producing stuff people actually want to buy for the lowest price due to economy of scale, so evil!! There are literally millions of apple cultivars. Plant any apple seed and you’ll have a tree that produces a new unique one. Honey crisp seeds don’t make honey crisp trees.
@@BoxStudioExecutive that isn't a fault of capitalism. A communist society probably will only have one type. It's about what is the most effective way to feed a large growing population reliably and regularly. How can you have an apple pie recipe if the apples you can buy at market are literally a different type everyday?
@@Imaboss8ball Yes, it is a fault of capitalism. Pre-industrial age, there were hundreds of apple cultivars available in the USA. Post-industrial age, that variety has shrunk by over 90%. What happened in between? The corporatization of farms, a symptom of unchecked capitalism.
And no, a communist society will not "probably will only have one type" of apple. That was not true of any communist state that ever existed. Maybe you should try using facts to support your arguments instead of pulling shit out of your ass.

I just started eating quinoa and can confirm as an Asian that it tastes just like rice but with interesting texture. It definitely helped with my inflammation altho you can feel the laxative effect lol. I still like it tho as a rice replacement. It’s about $5usd per kilo which is 5x than a kilo of rice so not all can still afford this in our country.
I mixed up with rolled oat, then makes, chocochips cookies out of it.
Those are some funny hats these ladies are wearing. Doesn't look like it does much to protect from the sun.
They unload 5 sacks after the family worked for a day.
A combined harvester collects about 50 per hour.
Just something to think about in terms of what we as a society have accomplished.
Some people would rather have us all working in the fields all day. Except themselves, of course. Just like Pol Pot.
This video is basically 2 years old, like it was filmed during the pandemic but couldn't get edited until now. That's why there's no mention of grain market fluctuations during Covid, nor during Putin's War.
"Putin's War". Propaganda is crazy effective isn't it?
Farming may be back breaking hard work, but it’s an honest living.
Learned something new
I didn't know there were so many varieties of quinoa. Thanks for the info.
Sure it has a bit more protein in it but it is still high in carbs. Like 35 grams in just one cooked cup. Not great if you
have pre diabetes or diabetes. I only have it once in awhile.
No offense to Professor Bellemare in this video, I'm sure he's great and all, but something about him makes me think he shouldn't be trusted with a dinosaur theme park security system.
Quinoa tastes amazing, especially one that tastes like smooth tasty butter. If you have a chance, you should try it. :D
Which kind is that?
Just eat butter.
good for fat vegetarians
I think it's red quinoa. I have tried white quinoa and it doesn't quite taste as good
Extra rinsing helps.
Eek, the word "superfood" appears within only 30 or 40 seconds. No, it's not a superfood. It's a grain with protein, starch, and a virtually insignificant serving of micronutrients.
quinoa are really expensive in my country Indonesia.
price 1kg cheaper one white quinoa, are same price for buying 7kg high quality white rice.
In Australia
1kg quinoa @ $10 p/kg
1kg white rice @ $2.80 p/kg
I've never eaten quinoa though I do grow amaranth.
@@KerriEverlasting
Fortunately at Costco in the US it's about $2 a pound and comes in a large package. Americans really got into it and the price dropped a lot.
They have the benefits of unique ancestral varieties of the grain. Don't just sell quinoa. Sell organic ancient quinoa varieties from the Andes. Peruvian farmers can't compete with industrial production on quantity, but they can and should compete on quality, selling a premium product. Anyone can make sparkling wine, but champagne is still expensive.
great video
I only buy Peruvian quinoa. The price is reasonable if bought in bulk, and it tastes much better than quinoa grown in non-native climes.
Its been a boom for farmer but a suffering for all the poor people of peru who couldn't afford their native grain due to the denand from north America.
Looks like Sorghum, plenty in Zambia and most Zambians don't care about it. I have had it once in my life and it's not bad but not for everyone.
I like amaranth a lot better than quinoa. To me, quinoa is barely edible.

Never eaten any type of quinoa that didn't taste like crap. To all those who find it flavorsome, kudos to you.
I know it’s healthy and a lot of places include it as part of their menu, especially places that do “bowls” (common at fast casual that really cater to the lunch menu), but I can’t get into the taste either.
Nice way to say "I'm a terrible cook" without actually saying it
Quinoa like rice can easily be flavored during the cooking process. Clearly you need to explore more.
RINSE IT BETTER...
If you have to add flavor to something so it becomes ok to eat. Than it s taste is worthless. So mathias and christine are just mentaly challenged lowlifes!
I eat quinoa almost every day for the past 3 months
why is it a SUPER FOOD = ????????????? actually nobody knows = eat too much it will make you sick
All they have to do is cut back on production all around and you will see those prices soar haha. Supply and demand
Quinoa is Keto and quinoa low carb white makes good flour. And Keto is not going away.
What does keto mean to you? Cuz Quinoa isn't gonna get you into or keep you in a state of ketosis.
Biodiversity for food,animals, and plants are slowing disappearing in the world, because of monetary value and trends.
Cause it is expensive here
I can't tell you what the future holds, but I can tell you it doesn't involve harvesting grain with a sickle.
Interesting….food storages like rice, soy, and wheat. But looks like this would work to help fill in the gaps.
Nice to see that Business Insider still seems to be hiring people with little to no understanding of English grammar or sentence structure to produce their "content."

Are you serious? How many decades are you talking about?
Lol this both reminds me of "little house on the parie" and how wheat is farmed and sold (just with machines doing heavy lifting)
whats crazy is that if i rmb correctly it was priced so high that locals couldnt afford to eat their cultural cuisine of quinoa cause it was too expensive. now price is dropped i hope they are okay
So trickle down economics and free trade is good…

There are plenty of markets to sell into they will just have to lower the price a bit on the retail end .
Like they said in the 90 it was cheap as hell yet nobody buyed it, only with some advertisement from scientific outlets did it started to sold outside south america
I guess coca is their coffee
I like these kinds of videos
Quinoa is one of the healthiest foods. Gotta rinse it more before cooking. Amaranth is another amazing superfood. Both have very high protein power
Kiwicha = amaranth
How is it a superfood, except to vegetarians? Meat beats it hands down.
I’m allergic to nuts. Quinoa gives the same reaction. :(
Quinoa is just plain expensive. It has to be as cheap as rice if it ever wants to compete.
That’s under 5000 bushel. So not much is harvested actually. Also Hellz yeah to harvesting on coke!
I stopped eating quinoa few years ago because the news media said Americans demand for it made quinoa too expensive for the Peruvian people to afford causing starvation and poverty. I've told dozens of people that. Now I should start eating it again? I'm so confused.
I remember that as well. I switched back to rice and haven't had quinoa for quite a while. I should try it again, especially now that I have an Instant Pot, it should be easier to make.
Seem like they goverment have to get involve like japan wagyu

I couldn't afford quinoa it's quiet pricey
Brought their staple food to the world? I thought that it was their staple and after it become profitable to export it, they could no longer afford it and their nutrition declined...
In that case, the price decline could be good for them in some ways.
Never seen or heard about it. If is bitter i don’t like
They need to copyright the name and restrict product to origin region just like champagne and iberico ham. They stand to have a larger share in the wealth created by the product.
Since a lot of other areas are experiencing a food crisis, this is a blessing for the countries that experienced losses due to drought...
For years I heard that this high price was making quinoa unaffordable for the Peruvians. I was glad that we produce it in Europe as it would solve that problem and also it needs a lot less water than traditional grains. Which is a very good thing in this dryer and dryer climate.
Bolivians, Peruvians never had that problem.
