Peru has been nominated the "Latin America's Economic Performer" by the International Monetary Fund in 2013 due to a decade of record-high growth despite the persistent global uncertainty.
The Outbound Trade Mission to Peru organized by the Florida Foreign Trade Association and Amcham-Peru is an unique opportunity to expand your business into Peru's rapid-growth & fast-paced emerging economy.
The main exports are copper, gold, zinc, petroleum, coffee, potatoes, asparagus, textiles and guinea pigs. The main imports are petroleum products, plastics, machinery, vehicles, iron and steel, wheat, and paper. The United States and Peru signed the United States-Peru Trade Promotion Agreements (PTPA) on April 12, 2006. The PTPA eliminates tariffs and removes barriers to U.S. services, provides a secure, predictable legal framework for investors, and strengthens protection for intellectual property, workers, and environment.
