Lima, July 18, 2024 – At the prestigious Belmond Miraflores Park Hotel, the sixth edition of Agrotrade Perú will be held, a seminar titled “New Opportunities for Fruit Growing”, organized by Viveros de Chile and ProChile Perú. This event seeks to promote the exchange of knowledge and technologies between Chile and Peru, with the aim of promoting the growth of the Peruvian fruit sector.

A Meeting of Agricultural Leaders

The convention will feature the participation of prominent representatives of the Peruvian agricultural industry, such as Fernando Cillóniz, Edgar Vásquez and Gabriel Amaro, who will share their perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of the sector. In addition, international experts such as Isabel Quiroz, specialist advisor in international trade of agro-export products, and Alberto Cortés, manager of the La Palma Experimental Station of the Catholic University of Valparaíso, will enrich the event with their knowledge about new species, varieties and technologies for the agro.

Gustavo Cardemil: A Focus on Agricultural Investments

One of the highlights of the event will be the participation of Gustavo Cardemil, an agronomist and agro-financial advisor with more than 20 years of experience in agricultural management and agribusiness financing. Cardemil will address the topic "Why invest in agricultural land today?", offering a detailed view of the growing interest of investment funds in the agricultural sector. "Investment in agricultural land has gained relevance in recent years due to the stability and profitability offered by this sector, especially in Chile and Peru," said Cardemil.

A Boost for Peruvian Agro-Export

The objective of Agrotrade Perú is to publicize alternatives to expand Peru's export basket, supporting Peruvian fruit growth through the new genetics and technologies that Chilean agricultural nurseries and suppliers have. This high-level event offers a unique opportunity to establish and strengthen strategic commercial relationships between Peru and Chile.

Sponsorships and Strategic Alliances

The seminar is sponsored by important organizations such as ADEX Peru, AGAP and the Peruvian Chilean Chamber of Commerce, which highlights the importance and relevance of this event for the industry. In addition, "Agronight Perú" will be held, an exclusive networking activity that will allow Peruvian and Chilean companies in the agro-export chain to meet and share ideas in an environment conducive to the development of new business opportunities.

A Promising Future for Plant Trade

The Chilean Nursery Association (AGV), organizer of the event, has been key in promoting exports of fruit plants and in creating strategic alliances that have allowed Chile to position itself as a leader in the international market. In 2022, Chile exported more than 61.500.000 plants to various destinations, with Peru being one of the main markets, with about 45% of Chilean plant exports.
