SUBJECT: AMBASSADOR PROMOTES FTA IN TRUJILLO 
 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary.  During his June 12 trip to Trujillo, a 
city along the northern coast, the Ambassador met with local 
dignitaries and agricultural producers to discuss the U.S.- 
Peru free trade agreement and economic development.  The 
Ambassador, accompanied by press, toured a Peruvian 
agricultural processing plant - a plant that not only 
exports to the United States but also serves as a model for 
other companies with social responsibility programs.  The 
Ambassador also spoke at the Chamber of Commerce, explaining 
the realities of the U.S.-Peru FTA and how it will help 
enable the incoming government to reduce poverty.  End 
Summary. 
 
Promoting Corporate Social Responsibility 
---------------------------------------- 
 
2. (U) The Ambassador, during a June 12 trip to the coastal 
city of Trujillo, met with officials from the DanPer 
agricultural plant, a Peruvian company that produces and 
exports products including asparagus, artichokes and 
pequillo pepper.  DanPer, which began its operations in 
1994, employs more than 3,300 people, 60 percent of whom are 
women.  The company is known for its strong social 
responsibility programs, including building its own medical 
clinic where it provides free vaccines for workers and their 
families, establishing a good working environment, 
recycling, and working with poorer communities to teach 
people the importance of hygiene and sanitation. 
 
3. (U) In its 12 years of operation, DanPer witnessed a 642 
percent increase in its exports, from $4 million in 1994 to 
$29.7 million in 2005.  Exports to the U.S. have also 
increased dramatically, from 19 percent in 2003 to 51 
percent in 2005.  During a tour of the DanPer plant, the 
Ambassador, accompanied by the local press, explained how 
the FTA would benefit agricultural producers, such as 
DanPer.  He noted that asparagus, which is one of Peru's 
leading agricultural exports, currently enters the U.S. 
market duty free under ATPDEA.  With the FTA, duty free 
benefits continue; however without the FTA, Peruvian 
asparagus would be assessed a 9 percent tariff, making the 
product less competitive in the U.S. market. 
 
FTA Outreach 
------------ 
 
4. (U) The Ambassador also took the opportunity to discuss 
the realities of the FTA at the Chamber of Commerce. 
Addressing an audience of more than 100 people, the 
Ambassador explained how the FTA is a strategy to reduce 
poverty in Peru, a prevalent theme during the elections.  By 
promoting trade capacity building and growth of exports in 
high-value sectors, Peru will be able to create new jobs in 
the formal sector.  The Ambassador also rebutted several 
myths about the FTA, noting that smaller countries such as 
Chile, Morocco and Singapore experienced significant 
economic benefits from trade with the United States due to 
their bilateral FTAs.  On the topic of medicines, the 
Ambassador emphasized that 98 percent of medicines in Peru 
are generic and that the new intellectual property and data 
protections will not affect the price of these medicines. 
He noted, however, the medicine prices will also decrease 
under an FTA due to improved government procurement 
processes and the elimination of the EsSalud 20 point 
preference system. 
 
5.  (U)  Using NAFTA as an example, the Ambassador 
acknowledged that there are winners and losers from trade. 
In agriculture, although the timeframe for reduction of 
tariffs is long for sensitive products, the Peruvian 
Government needs to learn from Mexico's mistakes and 
establish an internal agenda to respond to competition from 
U.S. producers.  The Peruvian Government is developing a 
compensation program for agricultural producers, but it 
should also encourage small farmers to manufacture products 
that have a high export value, such as asparagus, artichokes 
and peppers. 
 
Comment 
------- 
 
6.  (SBU)  Trujillo, a decidedly pro-FTA area, has benefited 
greatly from ATPDEA.  Over the past three years, the region 
has seen a 9 percent decrease in its poverty rate.  This 
reduction in poverty is linked to the creation of export- 
oriented jobs under ATPDEA.  Officials in Trujillo (many of 
which belong to the APRA party) eagerly await the Peruvian 
Congress' decisio on the FTA and expects that other 
departments in Peru will look to Trujillo as a model of 
economic growth and prosperity through trade.
