The Megaport Puerto Chancay project in Lima, Peru, will have a significant economic and social impact, generating $4.5 billion annually, Minister of Production (PRODUCE) Sergio Gonzalez Guerrero, informed.
In other words, the PRODUCE Minister assured this will translate into 1.8% of the country's GDP, which would create 8,550 direct jobs, due to the potential relationship with other Asia-Pacific economies.
In 2023, Peru shipped 47 agro-industrial products worth US$369 million to China, among which blueberries, grapes, and avocados stood out, the Peruvian Exporters Association (Adex) has reported.
In its objective of closing Peru's infrastructure gaps aimed at improving Peruvian citizens' quality of life, the Government of President Dina Boluarte on Tuesday presented the New Central Highway Project, which will represent the largest public work in the country's history, thanks to an investment worth over S/24 billion (above US$6.21 billion).
