APEC: Growing Indigenous Businesses Through Trade 2024 Peruvian Participant Profiles
Australia strengthens bond with Peruvian Indigenous communities.
The two-day workshop in Lima brought together Indigenous businesses from various regions of Peru representing products such as coffee, nuts, cacao, and chocolate products, traditional clothing, bags, and jewellery, and personal care products. Many of the participants were women entrepreneurs.
We thank the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for funding this project under the auspices of APEC – Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation and for the invaluable support received from Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR).
We look forward to future commercial collaboration between Australian and Peruvian Indigenous businesses, including our participants.
