Exports from the Andean Community countries reached USD 187,461 million in 2025, an 11.5% growth compared to the previous year. China consolidated its position as the main destination, with 22.1% participation in the bloc's external sales.

In 2026, the CAN plans to take advantage of advances in infrastructure and transport to reduce export costs to Asian markets. The port of Chancay is considered a strategic point to improve commercial connection between Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia with Asia.

The organization also promotes trade facilitation mechanisms and document digitalization to streamline foreign trade operations. These initiatives seek to improve logistical efficiency and expand the participation of small and medium-sized enterprises in international markets.
