Peru's increase in exports underscores the important role of air freight, according to IATA.

Air cargo connectivity is vital for enhancing Peru's export economy, especially in the fresh produce sector, with total exports rising from $33.7 billion in 2015 to a projected $90.1 billion by 2025. This growth, driven by the agro-export sector, has seen fresh fruit and vegetable exports surge from $2.4 billion to $8.1 billion, making Peru a leading supplier of products like blueberries and asparagus. Although air cargo comprises only 1.3% of export tonnage, it accounts for 23% of export value, demonstrating its critical role in transporting high-value goods and supporting job creation in the country.
