The USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service is still accepting applications for its agribusiness trade mission to Peru, scheduled for June 9-12, 2025. The deadline is this week. Current and potential U.S. exporters interested in participating must apply by this Wednesday, March 12.
“Consumers in Peru are eager to stock their shelves with world-class food and farm products,” says FAS Administrator Daniel Whitely. “This mission will offer a unique opportunity for U.S. exporters to meet that growing demand.” He also says the mission will help the U.S. agricultural community establish meaningful partnerships and unlock new avenues for growth in South America.
Peru is the third-largest market for U.S. agricultural exports in South America. Since the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement, bilateral agricultural trade has risen from $1.46 billion to $5 billion in 2023, a 242 percent increase. In that same year, the U.S. was Peru’s second-largest agricultural supplier, with a 13 percent market share.
