Regional exports, except those sent from Lima and Callao, amounted US$3.356 billion in the first two-month period of the year.
From the amount US$2.412 billion were earned thanks to traditional-export shipments, Peru’s Exporters Association (ADEX) informed.
According to ADEX Central Management, metals such as gold and copper accounted for 50% of those exports.
On the other hand, added-value exports (US$944.1 million) increased by 4.1% thanks to higher amounts of agro-exports (up 9.4%), which were registered in the same period.
Non-metallic mining production (up 22.4%) also led to the “good performance.”
