Living in Peru : your everyday companion

Peruvian agricultural exports beats historical record totaling 327 million dollars in October, growing 32 percent compared to the same month last year, Peru's ministry of Agriculture (Minag) reported.

In this regard, accumulated exports between January and October have amounted to 2.2 billion dollars, registering a 29 percent increase compared to the same period in 2007.

With this result, Peru's agricultural exports have increased by 503 million dollars due to its good positioning in the international market, which despites of facing a very difficult financial situation, still maintains its economic dynamism.
 
The good performance of Peruvian exports is explained, in some way, by the high quality of products and its competitive prices, which get into the main markets taking advantage of seasonal niches presented in this second half of the year, it said.

In addition, this result shows the joint effort of the government with the private sector, and also shows something even more important, the new mentality of the Peruvian exporter which has changed its attitude before exports, which used to be very fickle and singular in businesses, it indicated.
