Peruvian deep-sea cod exports reached US$385,000 in January 2024

The United States has become the exclusive recipient of deep sea cod exports, with shipments primarily directed through Jorge Chavez International Airport to Los Angeles and Miami. In response to market volatility and a 20% reduction in supplies from the previous year, the Ministry of Production has set the catch limit for January 2024 at 186 tons. This adjustment reflects the high demand for deep sea cod, especially for its large, thick fillets, which are particularly popular during Holy Week due to increased fish consumption among Catholics.
