The agreement, reached during US Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack’s trade and investment mission to Peru, assures American ranchers of expanded market access.
"Since 2009, the United States and Peru have enjoyed one of the strongest bilateral trade relationships in the Western Hemisphere, and today it became much stronger," said Mr Vilsack. "Since 2003, USDA and USTR have worked to reopen and expand markets once closed to US beef. This is another win in a long line of successes that led to a near-record US beef and beef product exports in 2015.
In 2015, the US exported $25.4 million in beef and beef products to Peru.
