Peru will close 2024 with the fourth consecutive record in exports, having China, the United States and the European Union as receiving markets.

Growth in the export of goods from January to October was 14.5 %. This represents $ 60,168 million, thanks to “the greater volume exported (6.4 %) and the best prices (7.9 %), highlighting the growth in exports in the fishing (26.6 %), agricultural (23.3 %) and metal mining (15 %) sectors.”

The Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Desilú León Chempén, has pointed out that Peru has far exceeded $73 billion in shipments and added that “this achievement is not only a sign of the hard work of the private sector, but of the actions promoted by Mincetur to provide companies with tools that strengthen them, as well as the effective commercial promotion strategy and, in this way, continue to open new markets for products.”
