As the emerging summer season begins to provide Peru with sunlight and warmth, it’s hard to imagine someone reaching for a fur jacket or shall. Alpaca fur however is proving quite tempting to New Zealanders, as found evident in figures for the first half of 2014.
Fur products of Peru, especially those from alpaca, were standout export products, despite handcrafted exports experiencing a minor drop in demand. Home to 90% of the world’s alpaca population, Peru received the greatest demand from New Zealand, located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean.
While New Zealand demands the most alpaca products, the island country accounts for a mere 11% of artisanal exports from Peru. The United States, claiming 45% of handcrafted exports in general, plays a key part in keeping this sector alive.
Manager of Peru’s Exporters’ Association (Adex), Ysabel Segura, states that “in Peru we have a variety of raw materials with which we work,” and that the popularity of the various artisanal products is cyclical.
“There are times when more ceramic products are exported and others in which wooden furniture sells more. Other months textiles receive the most orders, which is what has occurred in recent years,” she explains.
Adex reports that handicraft exports from the nation experienced a 3.5% decline between the months of January and August of this year. During the same time period of 2013, international shipments of this sector earned some US$ 36 million however, “due to lower shipments to New Zealand, Australia and Japan,” Adex reports that the current earnings stand at US 34.7 million.
