Peru's Booming Exports -Clothing manufacturers

July has proved a good month for the Peruvian export industry, with Eduardo Ferreyros, the Foreign Trade and Tourism Minister confirming that Peru will soon have thirteen Free Trade Agreements. Furthermore, July saw the director of Prom Peru confirming the worth of Peru Brand, a spiral shaped logo that aims to promote Peru in the export, tourism and investment industries.
The increase in number of Free Trade Agreements should boost the Peruvian economy. Peru already has a Free Trade Agreement with the United States, China, Canada and Singapore amongst others and soon countries within Europe and Central America as well as Japan, the Republic of Korea and Mexico will be added. This will no doubt be of benefit to the chullo industry as Mexico was the largest importer of the traditional Peruvian hat at the beginning of 2011.
In recent years the chullo has become a fashion item across the world and according to the Peruvian Exporters' Association (Adex) chullos were exported to 22 different countries during the first five months of the year; good news for all those missing Peru or those wishing they had bought an extra chullo or two whilst in Peru. The majority of these chullos have been made out of alpaca wool or a combination of alpaca wool with synthetic materials, such as acrylic. Alpaca is becoming increasingly well known as a high quality material all over the world, so exports of a wide range of alpaca clothing products are expected to increase over the coming years.
