USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service Administrator Daniel Whitely is leading the agribusiness trade mission in Peru to expand market access.
The goal is to boost U.S. agricultural exports to address the $3.66 billion trade deficit with Peru.
Whitley is leading a delegation of more than 50 agribusinesses and trade groups including two from California, as well as five state departments of agriculture.
Peru is the fourth-largest market for U.S. agricultural exports in South America, and the U.S. is Peru’s second-largest agricultural supplier.
Export prospects in Peru are strong, especially in beef, pork, poultry, dairy products, tree nuts, ethanol, wine, and distilled spirits.
