Home » US secures full access for beef exports to Peru
The US government reached agreement with the Peruvian officials to remove barriers for US beef exports to Peru that have remained in effect since 2003. In 2015, the United States exported $25.4 million in beef and beef products to Peru. Since the US-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA) entered into force in 2009, USDA says beef and beef products have grown, but have been hampered due to burdensome certification requirements installed by Peru in 2003.
“Since 2009, the United States and Peru have enjoyed one of the strongest bilateral trade relationships in the Western Hemisphere, and today it became much stronger,” says Tom Vilsack, USDA secretary. “Since 2003, USDA and USTR have worked diligently to reopen and expand markets once closed to US beef. This is another win in a long line of successes that led to a near-record US beef and beef product exports in 2015.”
