Overview
- CIEN-ADEX data show Peru’s exports totaled US$45,128 million between January and May 2026, a 36.7% increase led by mining revenues.
- Mining exports rose 53.7% to US$33,000 million, while traditional shipments overall grew 48.8% to US$36,324 million and non‑traditional exports increased just 2.4% to US$8,804 million.
- Six non‑traditional activities fell in value over the period, with jewelry down 77.4%, metalworking 17.5%, and apparel 8.3%, underlining uneven recovery across sectors.
- China was the top destination at about US$17,390 million or roughly 38.5% of shipments, and five regions—Lima, Arequipa, Ica, Áncash, and Puno—accounted for the largest regional shares.
- ADEX president César Tello urged faster investment in ports and roads, lower logistics costs and simpler procedures to broaden gains, help SMEs join value chains, and reduce exposure to metal price swings.
