The Private Investment Promotion Agency (PROINVERSIÓN), attached to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), has initiated a specialized consultancy to conduct a potential cargo demand study for the San Román Dry Port project in Juliaca (Puno). This is an important step to technically define how this infrastructure could be developed and what services producers and companies in the south of the country would need.
The study will identify the goods that could use the dry port, their origins and destinations, the main production chains, and the corridors through which they are transported. It will also evaluate opportunities to capture national and international cargo, including that linked to trade with Brazil and Bolivia, and project different demand scenarios.
With the results, PROINVERSIÓN will have a model of current logistics flows and a potential demand profile. These documents will serve as the basis for defining the project's characteristics and advancing its subsequent structuring and promotion stages. The study will allow for evidence-based decisions regarding effective demand and the dry port's configuration.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONNECT THE SOUTH
The San Román Dry Port is envisioned as a multimodal logistics platform on a 52-hectare site in Juliaca. Its purpose is to bring foreign trade and goods distribution services closer to those who produce and work in the south, and to improve connection with Pacific maritime ports and trade corridors to Brazil and Bolivia.
If materialized, it could bring together storage, cargo consolidation, inspection, customs control, and distribution services. The expectation is that more efficient logistics will help reduce transport times and costs, open market opportunities for regional producers, and foster investment and employment. The preliminary investment for the project is estimated between US$150 million and US$250 million.
The demand study is being carried out within the framework of the agreement signed in February 2026 by PROINVERSIÓN, the Provincial Municipality of San Román, and the Regional Government of Puno. The municipality promotes the initiative, the regional government finances the planned activities, and PROINVERSIÓN leads the formulation and subsequently the structuring and promotion of the project as assets.
The project's development is part of the national strategy to strengthen logistics infrastructure, seeking to consolidate Juliaca as a regional distribution center that promotes economic integration, attracts investment, and develops logistics and productive activities in the south of the country.
