Summary
The export of guano fueled a period of accelerated, uneven modernization in nineteenth-century Perú. Beginning in the 1840s, deposits of seabird excrement on islands off the coast were exploited to provide an effective fertilizer for agricultural production in the industrializing north Atlantic. For the next three decades, state coffers and the fortunes of those controlling the trade swelled.
