(Agraria.pe) Peruvian mango exports continue to be “in the red.” As of October 2024, shipments of this fruit totaled US$ 201 million, a drop of 4.7%, according to data from the Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP).

The first direct shipment of Peruvian products sent from the port of Chancay will arrive today, Wednesday 18, in the eastern Chinese megalopolis of Shanghai. The ship contains more than 20 thousand tons of fruits such as blueberries, avocados, grapes and mangos. Yesterday, the preliminary declarations at customs were completed. The port of Chancay allows reducing the time of maritime transport between Peru and China to 23 days, thus saving 20% of the logistics cost. In this way, the port seeks to become the bridge between China and Latin America. According to data, Chancay will bring about 4.5 billion dollars of annual income to Peru and will generate more than 8,000 jobs. Let us remember that the port is 60% owned by the Chinese state-owned shipping company Cosco Shipping and the remaining 40% by the Peruvian mining company Volcán Compañía Minera, the fourth largest producer of silver and zinc in the world.

Opened in November 2024, the Chancay Megaport promises to reduce logistics costs by 20% and transportation time to 23 days, which will benefit access to Chinese products in Peru.
