REMINDER: USDA Accepting Applications for Peru Agribusiness Trade Mission WASHINGTON, Feb. 26, 2025– The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service is accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Lima, Peru, scheduled for June 9-12, 2025. Current and potential U.S. exporters interested in participating must apply by March 12, 2025. "Consumers in Peru are eager to stock their pantries with world-class, high-quality food and farm products, and this mission offers a unique opportunity for U.S. exporters to meet that growing demand," said Foreign Agricultural Service Administrator Daniel Whitley. "It will also help our agricultural community forge meaningful partnerships and unlock new avenues for growth in South America." Peru is the third-largest market for U.S. agricultural exports in South America. Since the 2009 U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, bilateral agricultural trade has risen from $1.46 billion to $5 billion in 2023, a 242.5 percent increase. In 2023, the United States was Peru's second-largest agricultural supplier with a 13-percent market share. Peru and its South American trade partners offer robust logistics, distribution, processing, and cold chain capabilities, creating opportunities for exporters across industry sectors, including: - Beef, pork, poultry and related products
- Dairy products
- Tree nuts
- Snack, bakery and confectionery products
- Wine and distilled spirits
- Condiments and sauces
- Dog and cat food
- Health-conscious foods (low-sodium, low-sugar, low-fat)
- Ethanol
- Live animals and feed ingredients
- Bulk products, including pulses
During the trade mission, participants will join buyers from Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador for targeted business-to-business meetings to explore and discuss potential business opportunities in each country. Foreign Agricultural Service staff and regional experts will also provide in-depth market briefings, lead informative site visits, and host networking events. For more information or to apply, visit www.fas.usda.gov/topics/trade-missions/peru-june-2025. The application deadline is Wednesday, March 12, 2025. The trade mission to Peru is one of several USDA-led export promotion opportunities in 2025, with additional missions planned to Côte d'Ivoire, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Taiwan. The agency will announce application details for these missions soon. # # # USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer, and lender. |
