Amazonian economic development in Peru

Overview

During the VII Congress of Amazonian Entrepreneurs (CEA 2026), government officials and business leaders addressed strategies to integrate the Peruvian Amazon into national and international markets. Discussions focused on overcoming logistical gaps through improved road and river connectivity, including proposals for the Bioceanic Train and enhanced fluvial navigation safety. Participants emphasized that infrastructure development must be paired with industrial policy and strict sustainability criteria to protect forest ecosystems.

Following these discussions, the XV edition of Expo Amazónica 2026 concluded in Pucallpa, Ucayali. The event highlighted the role of aquaculture in economic growth, specifically through the promotion of processed goods from species like paiche and paco. The congress culminated in the signing of the Declaration of Ucayali, a document establishing eleven commitments to strengthen competitiveness and drive productive development through collaboration between the state, the private sector, and civil society.
