In 2021, Peru's exports of fish for Direct Human Consumption saw a 17% increase from the previous year, totaling US$ 1,483,925,000. Squid was the top export with a 41% share, followed by shrimp and scallops. The Executive Board for the Development of the Aquaculture Sector is seen as crucial in promoting more investment and technology to boost competitiveness. The main markets were China and the United States, with China's import of giant squid, shrimp, and flying roe, and the United States importing mainly mahi mahi, shrimp, and scallops. However, these exports in 2021 still did not reach the level achieved in 2019.
