Its main suppliers were the Netherlands, Spain and Germany. Meanwhile, Peru came to position itself as the tenth agricultural supplier of the Swedes: 5,686 tons for US$ 28 million. This was 70% more in volume and double in value.

The main Peruvian product that Sweden bought was coffee, with 4,757 tons purchased for US$25 million. That is, 56% more in volume and more than double in value than what was registered during the first three months of 2021. The price that was handled in this market was US$ 5.21 per kilogram, 42% more than the previous year. It should be noted that this product represented 84% of all shipments to this country, and with this, Peru was able to position itself as the second supplier of this product, even below Brazil.
