Peru: Adding up the Trouts*



AmCham PeruInfo provided by the
American Chamber of Commerce of Peru (AmCham Peru)





Last week, I was commenting on duplicating successful programs for industrial capabilities like the one created by the PRA project in order to take advantage of the PTPA Peru- U.S. agreement and other negotiated agreements, especially in the more depressed zones of the country. These type of programs have acquainted many producers and associations with the market as well as consolidated a vast amount of sales thanks to the technical support displayed to overcome, insufficient offers or other obstacles that didn’t allow meeting the standards requirements.


A graphic example of it is the case of the Andean trout, that, thanks to the support given by the PRA project in the province of Junin, trouts have been increasingly exported to very demanding markets like the U.S., Norway, Canada, Sweden, Belgium, Luxemburg, Holland and Spain, generating employment in those areas and reducing poverty levels.

It is important to consider that trout is a highland fish located in the most of the cases, in lakes or ponds which determine a comparative advantage for its production in the Peruvian altitude. Nevertheless, it is observed that only the 0.1% of the 1,200 national lakes that have the right potential of trout growth are being all used, hence there is an important opportunity waiting for us, and what is even more important, is that having the actual preferences to export to big global markets free of tariffs, there are existing privileges in our country that are enabling the development of agriculture in general, especially in regions like Junin and Puno. It is urgent then for that matter, to support and stimulate the development of exports in order to bring dynamism to the economy in such regions and promote the benefits of external commerce nationwide.

Today’s Huancayo and Puno’s Andean trout of the Arco Iris variety, is being exported basically by a company named Piscifactoria de los Andes, which was supported by the PRA project and was able to identify small producers and help them provide the right inputs and better their logistics in order for them to access the necessary modern techniques they needed to contribute to their success and the expansion of sales in the international markets. This technical assistance given by the PRA, allowed them to become more and more efficient and better prepared to confront the international demands and open themselves to a bigger sales opportunity, which in fact resulted in more employment.

It is assumed that with the support of the PTPA Peru – U.S., and also the commercial free trade signed with Canada, trout exports will rise abruptly and will benefit many Peruvians. This will happen with an infinite variety of Peruvian products that have the right potential, nevertheless, in order for these opportunities to become realities a bigger effort needs to be done and in that context, technical support programs and the generation of capabilities will be essential. We then should start adding up all the efforts.
