USDA Accepting Applications for Peru Trade Mission

The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service is accepting applications for an agribusiness trade mission to Peru scheduled for June 9-12, 2025. Current and potential U.S. exporters interested in participating must apply by March 12. “Consumers in Peru are eager to stock their pantries with world-class, high-quality food and farm products, and this mission offers a unique opportunity for U.S. exporters to meet that growing demand,” says Daniel Whitley, FAS Administrator. “It will also help our agricultural community forge meaningful partnerships and unlock new avenues for growth in South America.” Peru is the third-largest market for American ag exports to South America. Since the 2009 U.S.-Peru Trade Agreement, bilateral agricultural trade has risen from $1.46 billion to $5 billion in 2023, a 242 percent increase. In 2023, the U.S. was Peru’s second-largest agricultural supplier with a 13 percent market share. Opportunities exist for beef, pork, and poultry products, dairy, tree nuts, and more.
