Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the impact of Covid-19 on Peruvian coffee agro-exports to Germany. Taking the year 2018 as a basis for comparison with the following years, from 2019 to 2021, in which the Covid-19 virus started and spread, thus causing a world sanitary crisis that at the same time affected the commercial exchange. Quantitative research was developed, in addition to a documentary analysis made up of statistical data extracted from reliable sites, such as the National Coffee Board and the Ministry of Economy and Finance. As a result, during the years 2019, 2020 and 2021, a decrease in both production and exports with respect to the base year, in this case 2018, can be seen. In conclusion, the sanitary crisis caused by SARS-CoV-2 did have a negative influence on the different aspects of coffee agro-exports studied. Therefore, it is suggested to analyze the production capacity of Peruvian producers and entrepreneurs; in addition to implementing innovation strategies and adding technological processes to improve their competitive advantage and thus cushion the impact of any negative external event in the future.
