One year after the upgraded Peru-China Free Trade Agreement was signed at the APEC Leaders’ Meeting in Lima, small-scale farmers in Peru are harvesting the fruits of stronger economic ties. 🌍💼
The deal, aimed at boosting agricultural exports, has opened doors for Peruvian businesses to tap into China’s massive consumer market. Think avocados, grapes, and quinoa hitting shelves from Beijing to Shanghai! 🥑🍇
Local farmers report increased demand for organic produce, with some cooperatives seeing export volumes jump by over 30%. "This partnership isn’t just about trade—it’s about creating opportunities for communities," said a Lima-based agribusiness owner.
China remains Peru’s top trading partner, with bilateral trade hitting $24 billion last year. The agreement also simplifies customs processes, making it easier for small businesses to navigate global trade. 📈✨
