SUBJECT: EXPORTS TO CHINA GROW, FTA BY LATE 2008 
 
REF: LIMA 330 
 
1.  Summary:  Peru's exports to China have surpassed those to the 
United States for two of the first five months in 2007, making China 
an increasingly important factor in Peru's economy.  Mined metals 
and fishmeal accounted for 90% of Peru's exports to input-hungry 
China.  By the end of July, Peruvian and Chinese officials expect to 
conclude a viability study for the negotiation of a bilateral free 
trade agreement (FTA).  They estimate that the FTA could be signed 
in time for the Lima APEC summit in November 2008.  The FTA will 
exclude sensitive sectors for both countries:  textiles and footwear 
for Peru, and agricultural products for China.  End Summary. 
 
CHINA TOPS THE U.S. 
------------------- 
 
2.  Peru's trade with China has been on the rise.  Exports to China 
grew by 21% in 2006 to $2.3 billion (see reftel), and as of May 
2007, exports to China had grown more than 64% compared to the same 
period in 2006.  Exports to China surpassed those to the U.S. 
(Peru's top market) for two months so far this year, totaling $349 
and $273 million in March and May, compared to $297 and $258 million 
for the U.S. 
 
METALS, FISHMEAL & GRAPES 
------------------------- 
 
3.  Mined metals dominate Peru's exports to China, led by copper. 
Through May, copper exports to China totaled $632 million, 
accounting for over 50% of the total $1.2 billion exported to China 
this year.  Furthermore, four of Peru's top five exports to China 
are mined metals (copper, lead, iron, and zinc), which in sum 
account for nearly 65% of total exports.  China's accelerated growth 
rate has triggered a major demand for commodities like copper and 
iron, which has resulted in significant price hikes.  These factors 
have greatly increased Peru's trade with China as well as Peru's 
export earnings.  China is by far the top importer of Peruvian 
copper and fishmeal.

4.  Although Peru's agricultural products do not constitute a 
principal export to China, they have also experienced major growth. 
For example, grape exports to China through May totaled $1.2 
million, a 75% increase from the $736,000 exported during the same 
period last year.  Peruvian grape crops are planted so that harvests 
coincide with the highly profitable Chinese New Year. 
 
DISCUSSIONS UNDERWAY FOR A LIMITED FTA 
-------------------------------------- 
 
5.  President Alan Garcia, recognizing China as a top priority, has 
announced his objective to turn Peru into China's main commercial, 
economic and social partner in South America.  Consequently, at the 
end of March, President Garcia and Li Changchun (a member of the 
Permanent Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party 
of China) confirmed their countries' common interest in negotiating 
a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA). 
 
6.  A Peruvian delegation has already traveled to China, and a 
viability study for the negotiation of the FTA is expected to 
conclude this month after the visit of a Chinese delegation to Peru. 
 Peruvian officials are hoping to formally announce the commencement 
of negotiations of the FTA at the September 2007 Asia-Pacific 
Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Sydney.  Peruvian and Chinese 
authorities plan to have the FTA ready for signature by the November 
2008 APEC summit in Lima. 
 
EXCLUDING SENSITIVE SECTORS 
--------------------------- 
 
7.  The Peru-China FTA is expected to be considerably less ambitious 
than the U.S.-Peru Trade Promotion Agreement (PTPA) pending approval 
by the U.S. Congress.  It will be a commercial agreement which will 
exclude sensitive sectors for both sides.  These would be textiles 
and footwear for Peru, while China will leave out agricultural 
products.  Peru is hoping for results similar to those achieved by 
Chile in their FTA with China, in which sensitive sectors were also 
excluded.  Since the Chile-China FTA went into effect in July 2006, 
exports from Chile to China have increased 143 percent.
