Despite natural disasters Peru aims to double ag-exports by 2021
"In spite of natural disasters, doubling agricultural exports by 2021 is perfectly feasible under the reconstruction process. There is no doubt," AGAP's head Ricardo Polis told Andina news agency.
Peru's agro-exports of traditional and non-traditional products amounted to US$5.5 billion in 2016, and the aim is to total US$10 billion by 2021.
According to Polis, a total of 161,000 hectares of crops are destined for agro-exports, but Peru has more than 4 million hectares of cultivable areas, meaning less than 4%.
