According to Peru’s Foreign Trade and Tourism Ministry (Mincetur), the region of Cajamarca has become the country’s leading exporting region driven by the results obtained in the first half of the current year.

This region shipped 22,757 tons of coffee (+43%) in the first half of this year, Mincetur pointed out.

Cajamarca was Peru’s major coffee export also in value terms. Revenues amounted to US$54 million, a 41% increase over the same period last year.

While it is true that the North-Andean region is the Inca country’s third-largest coffee producer (right after San Martin and Junin), its shipments increased continuously during the analyzed period.

Thus, said region’s exports expanded 24% in January (US$20 million), 148% in February (US$11 million), 51% in March (US$5 million), 48% in April (US$3 million), 33% in May (US$4 million), and 17% in June (US$12 million).

Other regions

Lambayeque and Amazonas —the third and sixth-largest Peruvian coffee exporters— also stood out over the aforementioned period, increasing 29% and 8%, respectively.
