Earlier Report Observations

The Peruvian pork market showed consistent growth from 2018 to 2023, with total market volume increasing from 171.8 thousand tons to 213.1 thousand tons. Domestic production was the primary driver, rising from 162.4 thousand tons to 200.4 thousand tons over this period, which sustained the market's expansion even as imports fluctuated.

A significant shift in market access occurred in 2022 when the United States expanded its exports of fresh and chilled pork to Peru under new agreements between the USDA and Peru's National Agrarian Health Service. This development directly facilitated greater import volumes, which rose from 7.7 thousand tons in 2022 to 12.6 thousand tons in 2023, contributing to the notable market growth observed in the final year of the period.
