Peruvian agri-food exports to Hong Kong continue to increase in 2021

  • The export figures now
    surpass those of 2020 and position Hong Kong as the second leading Asian destination
    for Peruvian fresh foods.
  • The Commission for the
    Promotion of Peru, PROMPERÚ, is promoting chia and quinoa in Green Dot Dot
    supermarkets.

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 7 October 2021 – Peruvian agri-food exports to Hong
Kong increased during the first months of 2021 rising to 100 million dollars in
June. This data constitutes an increase of 53.9% compared to 2020.

 

Grapes, avocados and cranberries remain the most sought-after
Peruvian fresh products in Hong Kong. Cranberries exports showed a big increase
in 2021, they rose by 693.4% in value compared to the previous year.

 

In view of these results, PROMPERÚ continues to commit to
promotion initiatives in Hong Kong points of sale, both at a retail level and
in the restaurant sector.

 

In the Green Dot Dot supermarket chain, chia seeds and quinoa
have been the products promoted since August and September.

 

Also, during November events and tastings are taking place of
the Peruvian liquor par excellence: pisco. Under the name “Pisco
Nights”, consumers in Hong Kong will be able to enjoy this drink and discover
all of its production in several bars in the city of Hong Kong.

 

PROMPERÚ through its commercial office for ASEAN based in Bangkok,
will continue to implement promotional actions in this market because there is
still enormous development potential for Peruvian products.

 

Hong Kong is a large importer of agri-food products, where
consumers greatly value quality and food safety, and commercial operators seek
international companies that offer a good service along with experience of
overseas shipping. The Peruvian offer covers all of these needs, and is the key
to the success of our exports.
