According to Mincetur, the sectors that presented the greatest contribution in shipments were fishing, agriculture and mining. In the fishing sector, foreign sales and fish oil grew due to the recovery of anchovy extraction.

In agriculture, the main highlights were the higher sales of cocoa beans, thanks to the strong increase in international prices, and coffee. Fruit exports, which explain 50% of the country’s agricultural exports, continued to increase (9.8%), mainly blueberries and avocados.

For its part, in mining, the largest sale of gold stood out, which is the second most important product that Peru exports. The sale of copper abroad, a product that accounts for a third of Peru’s export of goods, grew 1.6%.

During the analysis period, 17 regions increased their exports, including Puno (109%), Ucayali (95%), Huánuco (90%), Amazonas (57%), Loreto (43%), Áncash (25%), Tacna (24%), Pasco (22%), San Martín (18%), Ica (15%), Moquegua (15%), La Libertad (14%), Cajamarca (5%), Ayacucho (4%), Junín (4%), Arequipa (4%) and Madre de Dios (3%).
