🎉 Chancay port, on the central coast of Peru, is celebrating its first anniversary this December. Built by Chinese companies, this modern terminal has quickly become the hub for agricultural exports to the Chinese mainland.
Since opening in December 2024, Chancay port has handled record volumes of Peruvian produce—avocados, grapes and blueberries—destined for the Chinese mainland. Local farmers and exporters say the deep-water docks and state-of-the-art warehouses at the port have slashed shipping time and costs, boosting agri-business in Peru.
A logistics manager at a major exporter reports that transit times are down by nearly 20 percent, leading to fresher products on store shelves in Shanghai and Beijing.
Looking ahead, experts expect Chancay to drive even more growth in the Peruvian export sector. With new rail links and expanded storage planned for 2026, the port is set to connect inland farms across the Andes to global markets.
For travelers and culture lovers, the port city of Chancay offers sandy beaches, ancient ruins and a vibrant seafood scene—making it a destination hotspot as well as a trade gateway.
This blend of modern infrastructure and local charm shows how international partnerships can fuel economic growth and cultural exchange. 🥑🚢
