Candy Supplier Peru
Peru is South America's fastest-growing economy over the past two decades and an increasingly important market for imported food. With a population of 33 million, Lima as a major Pacific gateway city, and a growing modern grocery sector with strong international food retailer presence (Cencosud, Tottus/Falabella), Peru is a viable market for European candy. Candora Trading supplies Peruvian food importers with European candy at wholesale pricing.
Peru Candy Market
Peru's modern grocery sector is concentrated in Lima, which houses approximately 35% of the country's population. Wong (Cencosud), Metro (Cencosud), Tottus (Falabella), and Plaza Vea (InRetail) are the dominant grocery chains. All carry imported food sections with European confectionery.
European candy performs well in Peru's premium grocery channels — particularly in Lima's affluent districts (Miraflores, San Isidro, Surco). The EU-Peru trade agreement provides preferential tariff rates for European food imports.

Key requirements for candy import into Peru:
