The Danish shipping company, Maersk, is introducing a direct service to its Hub Port in Balboa, Panama, from the Port of Paracas, Peru, starting June 4. This service will serve the citrus and avocado campaign in the southern region of Peru, providing competitive transit times to US and European ports. The new service, along with the 'Perý Feeder' service connecting Balboa and Pisco, will help Ica agro-exporters reduce logistics costs and meet the growing demand. There has been a significant growth in citrus and avocado exports from Peru in recent years, with a projected increase of 15% in 2023.
