📋 Tender Overview
Peruvian mining and exports derived from this activity are experiencing a good moment due to the growing demand for metals used in the development of clean technologies, which has generated an increase in orders for Peruvian copper as an input in the manufacture of components of sustainable technologies.
The latest edition of the Mining Statistical Bulletin (BEM) of the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) indicates that, as of September 2023, metallic and non-metallic mining exports amounted to US$ 3,688 million, which meant an increase of 7.2% compared to the same month of 2022 (US$ 3,440 million).
Likewise, the value of mining products accumulated up to the ninth month of the year was US$ 32,368 million, a figure that reflected an increase of 9.8% compared to the same period of the previous year (US$ 29,488 million).
In this regard, the cumulative value of copper exports from January to September of this year amounted to US$ 17,571 million, a figure 18.2% higher compared to the same period in 2022 (US$ 14,867 million). It is important to mention that copper is the main exported product with a share of 35.9% in the total national exports.
Likewise, the statistical document, prepared by the General Directorate of Mining Promotion and Sustainability (DGPSM) of the MINEM, details that gold exports, accumulated from January to September 2023, amounted to US$ 7,716 million, exceeding what was achieved in the same period of 2022.
Silver exports, during the same time period this year, represented an increase of 11.9%, compared to the same time period in 2022.
