In the first half of the year Alpaca fiber exports in Arequipa increased 30 percent, compared to the same period in 2007, totaling sales of 800 million dollars, the president of the Peruvian Institute of Alpaca and Camelids (IPAC), Mauricio Chirinos Chirinos, stated Tuesday.
Alpaca fiber exports and Value Added products such as garments and accessories are the main items exported to Asia.
The European market is another main consumer, Chirinos said.
Alpaca fiber volume exports are expected to increase 12 percent by the end of the year based on the interest of Asians and Europeans in garments made with this material.
“The APEC meeting carried out in Arequipa allowed other Asian and European countries to get to know Alpaca fiber, its production and processing, resulting in a demand increase”, he said.
Alpaca fiber industry works with 700 Alpaca communities from Arequipa, who keep genetic improvement and training programs to obtain better and greater production.
