Peru: Exports of Pulses to Peru Hopping: U.S. Industry Trade Mission Paying-Off
As a result of FAS Lima’s updated contact database, coordination and support of the USDPL Trade Mission during January 2015, Peruvian importers report buying 30 percent more thus far in 2015. As evidence, U.S. pulses exports in the calendar year CY2015 (January-June) are $10.6 million already up $2.2 million or 27 percent compared to 2014, and on track to break a record during calendar year 2015. To fight malnutrition and anemia, the Government of Peru during 2015 is promoting the consumption of pulses as a healthy food.
