Tridge summary

According to a report by Peru's "El Peruano," the aforementioned agreement was signed in Peru by Vladimir Cuno, Minister of Agrarian Development and Irrigation of Peru, and Sun Meijun, Director-General of the General Administration of Customs of China. In addition, the two sides also signed a memorandum of understanding in the field of health and plant quarantine, further consolidating the two countries' cooperation in technology and agricultural products.

Cuno reiterated the government's commitment to revitalizing agriculture and creating more business opportunities for agricultural products in the global market, in order to continue integrating small-scale agriculture into the agricultural export industry chain.

"I am deeply honored to attend this bilateral ceremony. It demonstrates our desire to continuously strengthen the friendly cooperative relationship between Peru and China in the fields of agricultural products and health," Cuno said. "The close relationship between China and Peru is very positive, and the results will soon be visible. We have a wide variety of products that are now ready for export."

He particularly noted that the signing of the protocol was the result of years of joint work and health assessments between the National Service of Agrarian Health of Peru (Senasa) and the General Administration of Customs of China, following a rigorous technical process.

Data shows that last year, Peru exported 148,000 tons of bananas and 28,000 tons of pomegranates. The Piura region concentrated 85% of the country's banana production; while the Ica region excelled in pomegranate production and export, accounting for 75% of the national production.

The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation emphasized that the signing of these agreements deepened Peru's agricultural product cooperation with China. China, as a vast market with over 1.4 billion consumers, has a growing demand for high-quality agricultural products.

On the other hand, the National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT) of Peru and the General Administration of Customs of China jointly signed a roadmap to optimize information exchange and technical assistance, focusing on promoting electronic data management and customs regulation compliance verification.

The roadmap will also promote mutual recognition of the "Authorized Economic Operator" (AEO) program, enhance Peru's competitiveness, and provide secure foreign trade facilitation services for the export of Peru's mining, oil, seafood, and frozen products. In addition, the two sides will cooperate in combating smuggling and strengthening customs capacity building, supporting the modernization process of customs.

It is worth noting that the Chancay Customs of Peru and the Shanghai Customs of China signed a letter of intent to promote smart institutional building through experience exchange and optimize bilateral trade processes.

The National Superintendence of Customs and Tax Administration of Peru disclosed that since the beginning of this year, the total value of Chinese goods imported through the Chancay port has exceeded 759 million US dollars. Among the customs declarations for goods handled by the Chancay port, 79% were destined for China, highlighting the importance of economic and trade exchanges between the two countries.
