After seven years of negotiations, Peru has secured access to the Guatemalan and Ecuadorian markets for its custard apple (cherimoya) production, benefiting over 5,000 small farmers in Lima, Ancash, Apurímac, and Moquegua. This development is part of the 'Guideline 2' of Peru's Second Agrarian Reform, aiming to increase market opportunities for family farming. Thanks to the efforts of the National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa), the deal does not include hydrothermal or cold treatment requirements, which can increase shipping costs. Exporters will now need to obtain a favorable opinion and a Phytosanitary Certificate from Senasa for each shipment, ensuring compliance with the importing countries' standards.
