Muscat, Sultanate of Oman -Wednesday 16 October 2019 [ AETOS Wire ]
Peru,
one of the world's fastest-growing Latin American nations, is all set
to expand its exports of a wide range of goods to the Sultanate of Oman,
a move that is aligned with the growing Peruvian exports to the wider
Asian region. Oman is one of the top priority destinations of Peru’s
latest export master plan.
The most
important goods imported from Peru to Oman includes powder milk,
Peruvian premium anthracite coal, fresh fruits, veterinary medicines,
antibiotics, mangos, safety glass, valves and transport accessories.
Peru is one
of the top 10 food suppliers in the world and to boost its exports from
the agricultural sector has identified a category such as ‘Super Foods
Peru’, a new brand that includes asparagus, passion fruit, purple corn,
quinoa, cocoa among many others; while the alpaca fiber leads the
textile sector with its top quality to produce premium garments.
While
remarking on the improved trade relations between Peru and Oman, the
executive president of the official Peruvian Exports and Tourism Board
(PROMPERU), Luis Torres, said: “We have implemented a strong plan to
intensify our efforts to encourage exports to new markets. The
relationship between Peru and Oman continues to go strong. This country
will become a key market in Asia for Peruvian companies and trade.”
“Oman is
the right market to focus the efforts of Peruvian companies for their
exports. Peruvian exporters are planning to engage in an intense program
of strategic business in the Asian countries,” he added.
“Our
trade has evolved and diversified both in products and services as well
as in markets. At first, it was a challenge to get involved, but once
the potential and an array of possibilities were interiorized companies
were eager to participate,” Torres further said.
On November
3rd and 4th the Expo Peru Dubai 2019 will be held, here Peruvian
exporters and tourism entrepreneurs will meet their peers from the UAE
and Middle East.
Peru is a key food supplier, leading among the top 10 places in the world. Some of these positions are:

Andes have large mineral deposits, which were wisely exploited for
centuries. This country has the largest reserves of silver in the world,
as well as the largest gold, lead and zinc reserves in Latin America,
according to the Ministry of Energy and Mines. In 2018, 2.44 million
tons of copper were exported; 4,200 tons of silver, and 142.6 tons of
