Peru's Record-Breaking Export Surge Propelled by New Pacific Port

In 2025, Peru's exports soared to $90.08 billion, driven by a new port on its central coast. The launch enhanced trade with China, its major partner. Significant increases were seen in mining and agriculture sectors. The EU and US followed as key markets for Peru's goods.

Peru's exports reached unprecedented levels in 2025, climbing 21% from the previous year, bolstered by a new massive port along the country's central coast.

Official data reveals that Peru's export revenues totaled $90.08 billion last year, driven by heightened sales in the mining and agricultural sectors. China emerged as a top trading partner, absorbing 32% of exports with a 30% purchase increase.

The inauguration of the Chancay mega-port in late 2024, constructed by Chinese company Cosco Shipping, established a direct trade route to Asia, significantly boosting trade figures. Meanwhile, the EU and the US stood as major markets with 24% and 6.4% growth respectively.
