Who runs short first is not shown for Peru: no Hormuz shipping volume (tonnes or barrels) for it is on file, and the scenario cases need one.

Each card shows the latest complete period: the newest with consumption and at least one of production, imports and exports on file.

    US tariffs and Canada: what is at stake for Peru

    Canada supplied 76.5% of Peru's wheat imports in 2024, the High band, and Canadian miners hold C$11,245m of assets in Peru. Gold makes up 75% of what Canada buys from Peru.

    Read the full panel

    Risks

    • Peru bought US$0.51bn of its US$0.67bn of wheat from Canada in 2024; other origins supplied US$0.16bn.
    • A Canadian recession (F-0174) would reach C$1.96bn of non-gold sales to Canada, including fruit and nuts (8% of all imports from Peru) and coffee, tea and spices (4%).
    • Canada's imports from Peru, C$7.74bn in 2025, are mostly gold (75%), so their value follows the gold price.

    Opportunities

    • Canadian mining assets in Peru rose to C$11,245m in 2024 from C$10,770m.
    • Canadian wheat sales to Peru were US$429.5m in 2025, on Canada's figures.

    Uncertainties

    • The wheat share is for 2024; Peru has not yet reported later imports by origin.
    • How far a Canadian recession (F-0174) would cut Canada's non-gold purchases from Peru is not measured.

    What to watch
