Data and Analysis
The Mexican market offers continued opportunities for U.S. farmers, ranchers, and food processors to further expand sales across the agricultural spectrum. Mexico is a top market for primary U.S. grains and oilseeds, as well as consumer-oriented groceries. An expanding population, coupled with continued economic growth and geographic proximity, makes Mexico an attractive market for U.S. food and agricultural producers.
In 2023, Peru was the 28th-largest market for U.S. agricultural exports, valued at $851 million, making it the 3rd-largest market in South America. The U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA) entered into force in February 2009, and U.S. agricultural exports reached $1 billion for the first time in 2014, peaking at $1.36 billion in 2018. The United States accounts for 14 percent of Peru's agricultural import market share, positioning it as the second-largest supplier to the country.
