Business Monitor International (BMI) believes the Peruvian port of General San Martín is well-placed to take advantage of Asian demand for Peru's natural resources, particularly copper. BMI also maintains its view that Peru is well-placed to position itself as a “gateway to Asia” for Latin American exports. However, efforts to do so may be stymied by the lack of investment in infrastructure.
BMI expects Peru’s freight to increase in 2012:
- --It expect sgrowth of 8.6% in total tonnage throughput at the port of Callao, to 20.2 million tons.
- --It predicts air freight volume to increase 8.7%, to 266,000 tons.
- --It expects rail freight carried (volume x distance) to grow an impressive 8.0%, to 1.3 billion tons/km in 2012.
