Access to China and other markets will help Peru maintain global grape leadership

Peru has updated its phytosanitary protocol, enabling the export of grapes to China by air, a move expected to boost the country's agro-exports and maintain its position as the world's leading grape exporter. This agreement, signed by President Dina Boluarte, aims to diversify Peru's offerings and improve grape shipments to China, which already includes sea transport. Additionally, Peru is working to gain access to various other markets and products, including frozen fruits, pomegranates, and pecans, to New Zealand, Vietnam, and Malaysia, among others. The Association of Exporters (ADEX) believes that these accessions and investments will help Peru maintain its global leadership in grape exportation and achieve growth in agricultural exports.

The update of the phytosanitary protocol that allows the export of grapes to China by air and its access to other markets, will positively impact agro-exports and will help the country to remain the world's leading exporter of that fruit, said the president of the Association. of Exporters (ADEX), Julio Pérez Alván. In June, an official delegation led by the President of the Republic, Dina Boluarte, traveled to the Asian giant to sign this agreement and others that aim to continue diversifying the Peruvian offer. Air entry will improve grape shipments to China that already enter by sea. Last year Peru was its second supplier, representing 30.7% of the total, only surpassed by Australia, which accounted for 31.1%. Others were Chile (30.4%) and with lower percentages South Africa and India, ADEX detailed.
