Peruvian exports of traditional products totaled US$4.01 billion in October this year, up 36.9% compared to the same month in 2019 (pre-pandemic), the
Central Reserve Bank (BCR) has reported.
According to the issuing entity, this result is due to higher export value of fishmeal, coffee, copper, gold, zinc, and hydrocarbons.
It should be pointed out that, compared to October 2020, traditional exports were 23.5% higher.
"Thus, foreign sales of traditional products reached a value of US$37.5 billion between January and October 2021, 35.2% higher than those registered in the same period of 2019, and up 61% from those recorded in the same period of 2020," the bank explained.
