In 2008, Legislative Decree 1060 was enacted to regulate the National System of Agrarian Innovation – SNIA, with the aim of promoting the development of research, technological development, innovation and technology transfer, indicating as instruments of the system the National Policy of Agrarian Innovation; the National Plan of Agrarian Innovation and the National Commission for Innovation and Training in agriculture, and designating as the governing body of the system the National Institute of Agrarian Innovation – INIA.

During the same period, authorities of the Ministry of Agriculture MINAG initiated the coordination with the IDB Inter-American Development Bank and the IBRD World Bank to design a program to support the development of the SNIA, which would be carried out through a project of public investment financed with contributions from the State and external indebtedness with the IDB and the IBRD.

Thus, through the Official Letter No. 077-2010-AG-DM of July 20, 2010, MINAG requests the Ministry of Economy and Finance MEF to be managed by the IDB, to include in the loan portfolio the financing of a set of investments aimed at strengthening the generation and development capabilities of innovation in agricultural, livestock and forestry science and technology, and increasing the coverage of extension services.

In October of that same year, in the MEF, the Directorate General of Public Indebtedness DGEP requested the Directorate General of Multiannual Programming of the Public Sector DGPM to issue a technical opinion regarding the MINAG request. The result of this management was the recommendation that the MINAG defines an investment program, taking into account the Policy Letter signed in 2005 between the World Bank, the MINAG and the MEF, which prioritized the implementation of the Innovation and Competitiveness Program for Agro Peruano (INCAGRO) in three phases, the last of which was considered in the Triennial Programming of Agreements with the World Bank to be finalized in 2011.

Finally, MINAG on January 27, 2011 through Oficio No. 25-2011-AG-DVM, noted that the PIP “Consolidation of the National System of Agrarian Innovation in Peru”, with code PROG-046-2010-SNIP, constituted The priority initiative for the sector in terms of innovation, science and agricultural technology, for which the DGEP was asked to include it in the loan portfolio so that its financing can be managed.

Subsequently, between 2012 and 2013, preinvestment studies were reformulated, which in mid-2013 are approved and receive authorization for the preparation of the study at feasibility level. Processes that finally derive in the so-called “National Program of Agrarian Innovation – PNIA.”
