Cargo volume on the Chancay-Shanghai shipping route reached 78,000 tons, worth 1.72 billion yuan (about 240.76 million U.S. dollars), in the first half of 2025, according to Shanghai Customs on Wednesday.
After this route was set up, the total value of imports and exports between Shanghai and Peru increased by 34.9 percent compared with the same period last year.
Since the launch of the Chancay-Shanghai shipping route in December 2024, the shipping time between Peru and China has reduced to around 23 days, significantly cutting logistics costs by over 20 percent.
As a result, more and more fresh fruits such as avocados, mangoes and blueberries are being directly transported from Peru to China via this route.
On July 4, the first batch of blueberries from Peru's current production season arrived at Shanghai's Yangshan Port from Chancay Port, totaling 11.7 tons.
Statistics show that, from January to June, Shanghai Waigaoqiao Port Customs supervised the export of nearly 3,400 domestic-made cars from Shanghai Port to Chancay Port.

Tokyo stocks rose Friday, with the benchmark Nikkei stock index ending at a fresh record high, buoyed by optimism over a settlement in the Middle East conflict.
The 225-issue Nikkei Stock Average ended up 1,654.93 points, or 2.68 percent, from Thursday at 63,339.07.
The broader Topix index, meanwhile, finished 38.65 points, or 1.00 percent, higher at 3,892.46.
"There was some optimistic trade around the latest U.S.-Iran talks, but this optimism seems to be based on the fact that things aren't getting drastically worse in the region rather than the situation improving significantly," Timothy Pope, a market analyst for China Global Television Network (CGTN), recapped the day's developments.
"This optimism was most strongly on display, I think, in Tokyo today, where the Nikkei rose 2.7 percent with hopes for some relief on oil prices and other currently scarce materials. It's not just oil that is not getting out of the region. As we know, it's other petrochemicals and things like helium as well. The general performance was pretty strong. Metals producers were doing fairly well in Tokyo, but in Japan as well, the market is very much focused on AI stocks. And today, the gains were strong for SoftBank -- it was up almost 12 percent after a bit of a battering earlier in the week. And that SoftBank gain contributed nearly a third to the Nikkei's overall gains on Friday," said Pope.
