Peru's Vice Minister of Foreign Trade, Diego Llosa, anticipates a positive growth in agro-exports in the first quarter, attributed to the global health crisis creating new opportunities for digitalization in trade. Despite challenges like dependence on intermediaries and a lack of digital capabilities among agro-exporters, the growth is driven by increased demand for healthier and nutritious foods. Notably, superfoods and main agro-export products have seen a surge in e-commerce, with the US, EU, and UK as the primary markets. Mincetur is spearheading efforts to enhance the digital capabilities of agro-exporters, with notable progress shown by the Peru Marketplace platform. The exact growth rate for the first quarter remains uncertain, hinged on global reactivation policies, pandemic development, and vaccination progress.
