Central Reserve Bank of Peru reports June 2025 exports up 17% for non-traditional goods and 9.2% for traditional products

The Central Reserve Bank of Peru published trade figures showing a June 2025 year-on-year increase in both non-traditional and traditional exports. Non-traditional exports rose 17% to USD 1,758 million, while traditional exports increased 9.2% to USD 5,136 million. Non-traditional export growth was driven by a 24.4% rise in volumes, led by fisheries and agricultural shipments, partly offset by a decline in average agricultural export prices amid greater Peruvian fruit supply in global markets. Sales of non-traditional products increased to all main destinations except the Andean Community, with stronger agricultural exports to the region, China and Europe, higher textile shipments to the United States, and increased fisheries exports to Asia, China and Europe. In the first half of 2025, non-traditional exports totalled USD 10,371 million, up 21.7% on higher volumes, and the 12-month increase to June (21.7%) was described as the strongest in the region among peers cited. Traditional export growth was mainly supported by higher mineral prices, with export prices for copper and gold up 19.9% and 44% respectively, alongside stronger traditional agricultural exports linked to higher coffee volumes and prices. Over the first half of 2025, traditional exports reached USD 29,578 million, up 15.6%, supported by an 18% increase in prices.
