According to the Peruvian website "Agroperu", there are at least 65 companies engaged in the export of chili powder in Peru, with nearly 20 export markets. Analysts pointed out that the suitable climate, strong storage and distribution capabilities of goods ensure that the commercial window of Peruvian chili powder runs almost throughout the year. In addition, because the production areas are distributed in different regions such as the northern coastal, central and southern regions, the production of chili powder is less affected by the climate. In the first half of the year, the average price of Peruvian chili powder was US$3.71/kg, a year-on-year decrease of 11%; the price is expected to rise in the second half of the year, but it is unlikely to reach last year's level. As for production, it is expected to remain stable. In terms of export markets, North America was the largest export market for Peruvian chili powder in the first half of the year. However, unlike most Peruvian agricultural products, the sales volume of chili powder to Mexico is higher than that to the United States, because Mexican cuisine is highly compatible with chili powder. In the first half of the year, the export volume and export value of Peruvian chili powder to Mexico increased by 9% and 2% year-on-year respectively.
