en.Wedoany.com Reported - Peru's Private Investment Promotion Agency (ProInversión) showcased the main private investment opportunities in the Islay province across the sectors of agro-industry, logistics and port services, sustainable tourism, fisheries, and aquaculture, highlighting that its strategic location helps strengthen the integration of the southern economic corridor and drive economic development in southern Peru.

During the seminar "Regional Economic Development through Private Investment Promotion," private investment opportunities were presented in areas such as agro-industrial processing plants, collection centers, storage infrastructure and cold chains, technical irrigation projects, and value-added food production. Investment options were also identified in logistics hubs, cargo terminals, port and customs services, hotel projects, nature tourism, fisheries processing, aquaculture, and specialized foreign trade services.

These opportunities are based on the competitive advantages of the Arequipa region. In 2025, the region's exports reached USD 8.289 billion, driven mainly by the mining, agricultural, textile, and chemical industries. In this context, the meeting highlighted the strategic role of the Matarani Port—the main port hub in southern Peru—and the potential of the Corio Port project as a future logistics city, which will strengthen Peru's commercial integration with Brazil, Bolivia, and Asian markets.

The meeting also highlighted ProInversión's portfolio of projects promoted in the southern economic corridor and Arequipa, including Majes Siguas II, SITGAS, natural gas massification, the Las Hoyas photovoltaic plant, and strategic highway corridors, among others. These initiatives will enhance the competitiveness and connectivity of the southern macro-region.

This seminar was jointly organized by ProInversión and the Islay Chamber of Commerce and Industry, with the support of Peru's National Customs and Tax Administration (SUNAT). The event also promoted private investment facilitation mechanisms, as well as the main financial, tax, and customs incentives aimed at strengthening investment project development, business activities, and foreign trade.

Through these initiatives, the Ministry of Economy and Finance, via ProInversión, consolidates its leadership as a key driver of private investment and decentralization, promoting the implementation of strategic projects and driving sustainable economic development nationwide.
