on Thursday stated that one of Peru's goals is for agricultural exports to exceed US$50 billion by 2035.
"Peru aims for agricultural exports to reach US$50 billion by 2035," he said during the presentation of the
Fresh Report 2025 in Lima.
The diplomat noted that current annual exports from this sector stand at US$14 billion, making the target a challenging one.
Potential
The ambassador emphasized that Peru is a country privileged by its exceptional biodiversity, rich variety of microclimates, and millennia-old cultural heritage.
"These characteristics allow us to offer unique products that are highly valued in global markets, where they also stand out as the foundation of our renowned cuisine," he said.
In that regard, the government official emphasized that Peru aspires to establish itself as an agricultural export powerhouse.
The minister stated that agricultural exports have all the conditions to become one of the main sources of foreign currency earnings.
"It has everything it needs to be the star in the coming years, among other economic activities. We support mining and other sectors, but agricultural exports will be a focus of mine," Schialer noted.
"At the same time, we are aware that the current international context presents complexities and uncertainties due to issues such as protectionist trends, geopolitical tensions, and armed conflicts," he added.
"Peru is not exempt from these concerning phenomena, which affect our productive and export chains, as well as the investment plans of key stakeholders. That is why, from my sector, we will continue coordinating actions with other public entities and the private sector in order to promote new initiatives that strengthen our presence in international markets."
Export guide
The minister stressed that this is a valuable document for trade promotion abroad, carried out by Peru's embassies worldwide as well as by our commercial offices.
The guide features 12 leading agricultural export products: blueberries, mangoes, grapes, artichokes, tangerines, avocados, limes, cacao, coffee, bananas, asparagus, and quinoa.
Minister Schialer also announced that the Foreign Affairs Ministry is working on a project for Peruvian embassies in China, France, Belgium, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland to conduct promotional activities for this publication in the coming months, using the local languages —namely Chinese, French, and German.
"This aims to reach a broader audience of potential new buyers in those key markets," he stated.
