El embarque de pisco, con un total de 1,700 botellas, ingresó a este país por el puerto de Ashdod.
Expoalimentaria 2017 will attract international buyers looking for pisco, wine, rum, and other spirits, the Association of Peruvian Exporters (Adex) reported.
Those buyers include G&C Corporation (Japan), Fruta Internacional (Costa Rica), Inverleoca (Colombia), Upic (South Korea), Vernius (Russia), World of Flavors (Italy), Berkman Wine Cellars (the United Kingdom) and Delivino (Colombia).
It must be noted some of the aforementioned countries, in particular, South Korea,
Russia and Japan, report high alcohol consumption per capita, which might favor trade deals.
According to Adex's Pisco Committee President William Urbina, this year's edition will enable spirit exporters to strengthen their network and close new deals.
"Companies and small producers should take advantage of this event —the largest in the region— to identify international buyers spread across five continents and, therefore, contribute to
pisco export growth" he noted.
