Peru's value-added exports to the United States are projected to experience stronger growth, Peruvian Exporters Association (Adex) Head Alfonso Velasquez said Friday.
"
President Donald Trump's Government is willing to revitalize trade and economic links with our country, and there is still room to position more national products," he underlined.
The event saw the participation of ADEX Board of Directors, associate exporters, and leaders of other business associations.
According to Velasquez, even though China is the main destination for
Peruvian exports, the United States is —by far— the most important one for value-added products.
"(…) mainly for clothing, jewelry, and wood. So, the United States is strategic to meet the goal of US$75 billion by 2021," he stated.
The official believes more markets should be developed, so he agrees with Ambassador de Zela that the United States should be considered a coalition of 50 countries, since each State is as large as an average nation.
