Abstract: Based on the New Economics of Labor Migration (NELM), rural-urban migration has a significant and adverse impact on the agricultural production of peruvian households. The emigration of a household member to urban areas is related, on average, to a reduction in the value of the household’s agricultural production of up to 48%. It is essential to implement policies that address the economic and social challenges derived from this migration, as well as promote strategies that guarantee the food security of rural communities, recognizing the crucial role of active agricultural workers in this process. Remittances also exert a negative influence on agricultural productive value, although moderate, with a drop of 12% compared to an increase of 10%. This last finding contradicts the results of Taylor (1999) and Bassie et al. (2022), where a positive relationship is established.
