Peru imports corn from the United States and Argentina. Corn from all origins is imported into Peru duty-free. However, due to the PTPA, Peru cannot assess the price band levy within the United States’ tariff-rate-quota (TRQ) for U.S. corn. Yellow corn in Peru is used mainly for poultry production. At about 47 kilograms per capita, the consumption rate of poultry is one of the highest in the region. Another good export prospect is Dried Distillers Grain.

The food processing and food service industries are main destinations for cheese products. The consolidation of franchises as well as new players in the market is pushing up cheese imports that totaled 6,228 MT in 2017. The PTPA provides a TRQ of 2,500 MT with a 12% increase per year. Currently the quota is 6,933 MT.

Peru’s beef and offal market size sector decreased 2.5% in 2017 with respect to the previous year due to lower domestic production. Peru’s stellar economic performance over the last 15 years has been instrumental in driving consumer preferences towards high-quality products. Almost 80% of U.S. beef exports go through the food service channel which represents 6% of GDP. U.S. beef and offal exports have experienced a recovery during the first three months of the year.
