One Year of the Chancay Megaport: The Numbers Speak

A year ago, thanks to Chinese investment, the Chancay megaport opened its doors, connecting Peru to the entire world. Many predicted then that this new port would displace Callao as Peru's logistics hub.

The reality has turned out to be better than that.

The results speak for themselves

Chancay has cut Peru-Shanghai shipping time from 30-40 days down to 23 days. Products like blueberries and grapes now reach China in 25 days—fresher than before—and importers are buying more. Blueberries and grapes now represent half of the cargo leaving through Chancay.

Callao didn't sit idle. Facing this new competition, one of its operators announced a $550 million investment to expand the port. The result: everyone wins. Consumers get faster, fresher products. Chinese and Peruvian investors see new opportunities and better service. Competition is raising the tide for all boats.

Why now is the time for Chinese investors

Peru's logistics market has entered a new era:

• A proven trade route. The Peru-China corridor is live and efficient. No longer theoretical—it's working, with real cargo moving daily.
• Price and service competition. Both ports are competing to improve efficiency and lower costs, benefiting every business that uses them.
• Growing market receptivity. Peru's government and private sector increasingly recognize the value of Chinese capital and partnerships.
• Multiple entry points. Whether you're setting up a trading company, a manufacturing hub, or a distribution center, the infrastructure now exists to support you.

For Chinese enterprises evaluating Peru as a market entry point or regional hub, this is the moment. The legal framework is stable, the logistics are proven, and competition is driving innovation.
