Peru: Exporter Guide

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   PE2019-0033
Peru is the fourth largest export market for U.S. agricultural products in South America. U.S.-origin food and agricultural product exports to Peru benefit significantly from the U.S. - Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA). The United States plays a pivotal role in Peru’s consumer-oriented food sector, accounting for 18 percent of the market share. In 2024, consumer-oriented imports from the world reached $2.0 billion. The growing middle class in Peru seeks high-quality products and there is a positive perception of U.S. food quality, variety, and innovation.
