Peru's agricultural trade with China is hitting new heights as the Chinese-built Chancay Port celebrates its first anniversary this December 2025. 🎉 The $3.6 billion deep-water hub has become Peru's top export terminal, shipping record volumes of avocados, blueberries, and organic quinoa to Asian markets this year.
"This port isn't just changing Peru's trade map – it's rewriting Pacific logistics," says Lima-based analyst Marco Tuesta. With direct routes to Shanghai cutting transit times by 20 days, Peruvian farmers are now getting fresh produce to Chinese supermarkets faster than ever. 🚢➡️🥑
While environmental groups raised concerns during construction, recent data shows 85% of surrounding wetlands preserved through eco-friendly engineering. The project has also created 12,000 local jobs, boosting Peru's coastal economy. 💼🌱
As Dan Collyns reports from Lima: "What began as cargo ships now carries diplomatic momentum – China's Belt and Road Initiative finds solid footing in South America's Pacific gateway."
