How a 15-Year Trade Deal Is Fueling Opportunities in Peru
Peru’s economic partnership with China is paying off big time! Julio Perez Alvan, president of the Peruvian Association of Exporters, revealed that the China-Peru Free Trade Agreement (signed in 2009) has turbocharged job creation—especially formal employment—in the South American nation.
From avocados to alpaca wool, Peruvian products are gaining traction in Chinese markets. Alvan emphasized hopes to expand exports further, saying, ‘We want to share more of Peru’s unique offerings with China’. Fun fact: Peru’s superfoods like quinoa and maca root are already ~viral~ among health-conscious Chinese consumers!
This cross-Pacific partnership highlights how global trade can boost local economies while connecting cultures.
