Peru's agricultural products have gained space in international markets, as they are currently traded in more than 80 countries around the globe, Association of Peruvian Farming Producers (AGAP) reported.

"Nowadays, Peru is a major exporter of agricultural products, including fresh vegetables and fruits, which are sold in more than 80 countries worldwide," the association stated.

In this sense, AGAP concluded trade agreements ensure the country's development and growth.

"We strongly believe that trade agreements, as well as open economies promoting cooperation among countries, guarantee development and sustained growth in Peru," the Peruvian group indicated.

It went on to say AGAP businessmen will keep on backing Foreign Trade and Tourism Ministry's efforts to reach a trade agreement with India as soon as possible.

Said ministry has recently announced the start of upcoming negotiation rounds between Peru and India, with the aim of entering a trade agreement.
