Tridge summary

The National Fisheries Health Agency of Peru (Sanipes) announced the UAE as the first market in the Middle East to permit imports of Peru's frozen fan shells (Argopecten purpuratus), making Peru the first South American country to export this species to the UAE. This follows Sanipes' successful application for UAE market access, requiring exports to carry a sanitary certificate issued by the Peruvian health authority. This new market opens up a significant opportunity for Peruvian scallop exporters, diversifying their product reach to a stable and economically advanced market. The UAE is a leading hub for business growth and stability in the Gulf region, offering a highly competitive business environment and efficient regulations. This move is particularly significant for Peru, the world's third-largest exporter of fan shells, as it seeks to diversify its export markets and boost its aquaculture sector's growth.
