Peruvian food exports to Russia might total US$150 million in 2019 thanks to the joint efforts —between private and public sectors— to capitalize on Peru's participation in the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia, the Association of Peruvian Exporters (Adex) projected.
According to Adex Head Juan Varilias, the presence of
Casa Peru and
Casa Peru Trailer in this Eurasian country is another key factor that contributed to such projection.
Peruvian
food shipments to this country amounted to US$33.298 million between January and April 2018, up by 41% over the similar period last year.
The most demanded goods included pomegranates, grapes, squids, mangoes, avocados, hakes, prawns, giant squids, and trouts.
Furthermore, Varilias highlighted the coordinated efforts undertaken by his guild, the Foreign Trade and Tourism Ministry (Mincetur), and PromPeru enabled them to showcase
Peruvian products —such as
food, textiles, and handicrafts— on said platforms.
"(….)
Tourists from all over the world will enjoy our
gastronomy, as well as our nature, which is full of beautiful landscapes and places that invite (potential visitors) to adventure," he noted.
