The exports sector is a priority for the Peruvian Government as it contributes 21% to GDP and is one of the main employment sources in the country, Exports and Tourism Promotion Board (PromPeru) CEO Luis Torres has affirmed.
"Within the exports sector, the shipments of added-value products stood out over the past year, highlighting the
agro-exports sector," the official told Andina news agency.
In this sense, he underlined this progress enabled 850 products to break a new exporting record over recent years.
On the other hand, President Martin Vizcarra —during his annual
Address to the Nation — indicated his administration currently works intensively to achieve a better positioning and consolidation of the Inca country's exports,
tourism, and
investments.
Challenge
Furthermore, Torres pointed out the challenge towards the future is continuing to consolidate exports and the creation of added value.
Sectoral brands
He went on to add sectoral brands are currently being consolidated through PromPeru.
Within this framework, the official explained the objective is to accomplish a differentiation in the international market.
