Peru

The GE-TOP Peru project analyzed challenges and opportunities to improve value chains in the biotrade sector, advance the sustainability of production, and enhance access to international markets. GE-TOP has produced two studies to assess the potential and to provide recommendations for the growth of trade in biodiversity-based products from Peru. The first study, Peru’s Sustainable Trade Potential – Biodiversity-based products, was produced in partnership with the Peruvian Trust Fund for National Parks and Protected Areas (PROFONANPE), aimed to assess the export potential of certified sustainable products derived from Peru’s native biodiversity. The second study, Contributions to the Implementation of Peru’s National Biotrade Strategy: Trade and Agricultural Production, produced in partnership with the Research Center of the Universidad del Pacífico, aimed to support the implementation of the National Biotrade Strategy. Both studies benefitted from the support and inputs of key ministries and institutions, including PromPerú, the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Trade and Tourism, and the National Biotrade Commission.
