More about Peru

Peru, officially Spanish República del Perú, German Republic of Peru, state in western South America with (2018) 32 million residents; The capital is Lima.

Business

Despite extensive raw material deposits and in some cases favorable conditions for agriculture, the Peruvian economy has experienced a severe crisis since the 1970s, which came to a head in the late 1980s. The drastic neoliberal course of the 1990s under the government of A. Fujimori led to a stabilization of the economy, albeit at high social costs, which repeatedly led to strikes and protests by the population. Thanks to high raw material prices, the gross domestic product rose(GDP) between 2003 and 2011 by an average of 6.5% annually; since then it has leveled off at 3.5%. The inflation rate could be reduced to 3.6%. The official unemployment rate is 6.7% (with high underemployment and great importance of the informal economic sector). However, not all sections of the population are benefiting from the economic upturn. In the underdeveloped rural regions, more than half of the population still lives below the poverty line.

Foreign trade: The economic liberalization since the 1990s initially caused a growing import surplus; The trade balance was positive in 2002–13, since then it has been slightly negative again due to the lower world market prices for raw materials (2015 import value: US $ 37.4 billion, export value: US $ 34.2 billion). At the top of the export goods (2015) are metallic mining products (54%), crude oil (7%), fish and fish products (7%) and textiles (4%). Mainly raw materials and semi-finished products as well as machines and equipment are imported, especially for the mining industry. The main trading partners are the USA, China, Canada, Japan and Brazil.

Agriculture

Agriculture (including forestry and fisheries) generated 7.2% of GDP (2014). The agricultural area consists of 3.7 million hectares of arable land, 860,000 hectares of permanent crops and 68.5 million hectares of meadows and pastures. The main cultivation area for export crops is in the Costa, where cotton, sugar cane, rice and fruit are grown almost exclusively on irrigated areas in the river valleys.

The main purpose of livestock farming in the Costa is to supply the Lima-Callao agglomeration. Self-sufficiency dominates agriculture in the Sierra (maize, tubers, European cereals, quinoa); the high plateaus are mainly used by livestock (in addition to sheep, cattle, llamas, alpacas, vicunas). Tea, coffee and rice cultivation dominate the eastern slopes of the Andes. In the tropical Amazon lowlands, legumes, rice and bananas are produced and natural rubber is extracted. Food imports have increased steadily. Peru is one of the largest coca producers in the world. According to estimates by the United Nations, coca plants are grown on around 40,000 hectares. Only a small part of it is used for the legal harvest of coca leaves; the majority is used for illegal cocaine production. Check petwithsupplies to see Peru in the Footsteps of the Incas.

Forestry: Forestry is of no great importance due to the lack of transport links. Around 58% of the country’s area is designated as forest (mostly in the Amazon lowlands and on the eastern slopes of the Andes). About 16% of the logging is used as timber.

Fisheries: The upwelling water off the Peruvian coast connected with the Humboldt Current causes an extraordinary abundance of plankton, the basis of the rich fish population. Fishing and fish processing are still an important pillar of the Peruvian economy. However, due to overfishing, catches are tending to decline. As a result of the temporary changes in the ocean current (El Niño), there are large fluctuations in production. The catch was (2014) 3.59 million t; Aquacultures play practically no role (43,000 t). The main catches are anchoveta, which is processed into fish meal.

Industry

The industrial sector, including mining, energy and construction, generated 35.2% of GDP (2014). Over 90% of the industrial capacity is in the Costa, around 80% in the Lima-Callao area; in Trujillo, Chiclayo, Chimbote and others. In cities, the companies work for export (fishmeal, sugar factories) or produce goods for the domestic market. The most important branches of industry are the food industry, metal processing, the textile and clothing industry and the chemical industry.
