Peruvian Minister Visits China to Promote Agricultural Product Exports and Agricultural Cooperation

Peru's television network website reported that during his visit to China, Manero held talks with Wang Lingjun, Deputy Director of the General Administration of Customs of China. Both sides exchanged views on deepening customs inspection and quarantine cooperation, with the potential to sign an agreement this year to promote Peruvian pomegranates and organic bananas entering the Chinese market.

During the talks, the Chinese side highly evaluated the progress of bilateral relations, expressing willingness to continue facilitating the entry of Peruvian agricultural products and appreciating Peru as a reliable high-quality food supplier, with most of China's imported avocados and blueberries coming from Peruvian producers.

Both sides also reiterated their intention to advance technical processes to introduce Peruvian beef and poultry products into the Chinese market, which will provide diversified opportunities for Peruvian agricultural exports.

Manero emphasized that these talks are of great significance for Peruvian farmers and producers, representing an important strategy to consolidate sustainable markets and increase rural income.

During his visit, Manero also held talks with Han Jun, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of China. Both sides agreed to advance a joint agenda covering product sanitary access, technical and equipment exchange, innovative seed research and development, and professional technical training.

These talks deepened the shared vision of building a more competitive, sustainable, and inclusive agriculture, which will directly benefit agricultural communities.

Beyond official talks, Manero also plans to attend an international event to promote Peruvian agricultural investment opportunities. The event will bring together representatives of top Chinese companies in agricultural infrastructure, technological irrigation, agro-industry, and research, as well as Peruvian business representatives, aiming to strengthen bilateral trade relations and attract foreign investment to support Peru's agricultural development.
