The Central Bank of Peru published trade data showing total exports in March 2025 reached USD 7,220 million, up 26.5% from March 2024, driven by a 14.2% rise in average export prices and a 10.7% increase in export volumes. Volume growth was led by non-traditional exports, which increased 23.4% year on year, particularly agricultural, textile and fishing shipments, while traditional export volumes rose 6.4% on higher exports of gold, fishmeal and natural gas. Higher export prices reflected mainly stronger international prices for metals such as gold, copper and zinc, which also lifted metallurgical product prices, with additional support from higher prices for coffee, natural gas and non-traditional fishing products. In the first quarter of 2025, exports totalled USD 20,787 million, up 25.2% year on year, with prices up 13.8% and volumes up 10.1%.
