Peruvian chocolates, confectionery, and snacks exports saw a 30% increase in 2022, totaling around US$234,802,000, with Colombia, the United States, and Chile being the leading markets. In an effort to further diversify their markets, the sector is now targeting the European Union and plans to participate in the ISM Cologne 2023 fair, to be held in Germany in late April. This event is expected to attract over 1,200 exhibitors from 70 countries. Six Peruvian companies will represent the country at the fair, showcasing products such as cookies and chocolate bars.
