77. I estimate southern Peru's sheep population, circa 1830, to have been 2,242,799 head, and that of cameloids 380,423 head. These figures are based on the ratio between livestock population for a few altiplano provinces from the early nineteenth century, contained in table 4.3, and from 1959, contained in Min. de Hacienda y Comercio, Plan regional 28:239-59. I applied these ratios to the 1959 figures for total sheep and cameloid populations in southern Peru to arrive at the estimates for 1830. Southern Peru includes the modern departments of Apurímac, Arequipa, Cuzco, Madre de Dios, Moquegua, Puno, and Tacna. In estimating wool production in 1830 I used the mean production figure per animal from 1959, contained in Plan regional. This calculation results in estimates of 1,677.614 metric tons of sheep wool and 652.045 metric tons of cameloid wools produced in southern Peru in 1830. Mean exports of sheep wool from Islay, 1837-40, were 764.382 tons per year, or 45.6 percent of southern Peru's estimated sheep wool production. The peak year of 1840 saw exports of 904.767 tons of sheep wool, 53.9 percent of estimated production. Mean annual cameloid wool exports from Islay in 1837-40 were 345.125 metric tons, or 52.9 percent of estimated production. In the peak year of 1840, 598.117 tons of cameloid wools were exported, 91.7 percent of production. The rates of wools exported are upper-bound estimates. [BACK]
