Peruvian exports amounted to US$79,964 million between January and November, which represented an increase of 18.2% when compared to the same period in 2024, reported the Association of Exporters (ADEX).
For the president of the union, César Tello, if the 11-month trend continued towards the end of 2025, shipments abroad would have closed at close to US$90 billion, which would set a new record for foreign trade.
“Although we still face a complicated scenario due to the tariffs imposed by the United States, the challenge is to convert temporary growth into sustained growth, supported by greater volumes and levels of productivity and competitiveness. It is not enough to increase the FOB value of exports if internal costs continue to limit business profitability, especially in MSMEs,” he stated.
Part of this impact is reflected in the jewelry sector. Between January and November, shipments in this sector fell 44.4%. Other items that also registered negative results were wood (-21.6%), hydrocarbons (-7.3%) and metal mining (-4.4%).
According to ADEX, traditional shipments in these 11 months totaled US$58,822 million, showing a positive variation of 19.5% and representing 73.6% of the total. As for non-traditional ones, they totaled US$21,142 million.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) assured that Peru reached a new agro-export milestone with the shipment of 540 agricultural products to 115 international destinations last year.
Among these products, traditional shipments stand out in these 11 months, totaling US$ 58,822 million, showing a positive variation of 19.5% and representing 73.6% of the total.
