Peru: Exporter Guide
Despite Peru’s slower economic growth forecast for 2015, the country still offers excellent opportunities for exporters of U.S. food and agricultural products. U.S. exports to Peru in calendar year (CY) 2014 (through September) are at $832 million, up 36 percent compared to 2013 and are forecast to reach $1 billion by year’s end. The food processing industry (3,000 plus companies) is a dynamic sector of the economy, whose 2014 import demand for U.S. ingredients is set to grow five percent. Food service sales are estimated at $8.7 billion in 2014, up seven percent compared to 2013. Best prospects reside in supplying high end hotels and restaurants.
