Maritime Transport Channels 70.9% of Peruvian Exports in First Half

During the first half of the year, the Peruvian export sector experienced a strong boost led by maritime transport. According to a recent report from the Association of Exporters (ADEX), 70.9% of the total exported value nationwide was moved through the country's ports, achieving a year-on-year growth of 28.6% compared to the same period last year.

This significant increase reaffirms the central position of port infrastructure in national competitiveness and economic revitalization, consolidating the sea as the main artery connecting Peruvian products with international markets.

Key points of port performance:

• Logistical dominance: Seven out of ten dollars exported by Peru leave by sea, reflecting the high dependence and trust of the productive sector in water transport.
• Double-digit growth: The 28.6% increase demonstrates a strong recovery and expansion in the volumes and values of foreign trade.

The logistical performance of the semester underscores the urgency of continuing to invest in installed capacity, technology, and simplification of operational processes to maintain the growth rate of Peruvian shipments abroad.
