Perú: US$ 23 mil millones de ventas en alimentos para retail

Peru’s food processing industry is a dynamic sector of the national economy.

There are three main supermarket chains in Peru: Cencosud (Wong and Metro), Saga Fallabella (Tottus) and Supermercados Peruanos (Vivanda and Plaza Vea). The market includes 282 conventional supermarkets and superstores, with 178 in Lima, and close to 790 convenience stores. The sector is comprised of both conventional supermarkets and traditional channels, comprised of wet markets and independent stores.

Different types of food appear to perform better in the two formats. Top products include snack foods, dairy, edible
oils, confectionaries, bread, and cookies.

The food industry in Peru accounts for almost 28 percent of the industrial GDP and the gross value added reached $9.4 billion by the end of 2020. Its growth is directly linked to the development of the food retail and food service sectors. Food product manufacturers source both domestic and imported product ingredients. Local processed food products cover 70 percent of the market demand.
