How Peru's Chancay Port is changing trade

We re-visit the Chinese-Peruvian joint venture to see the impact the mega port is having locally and regionally.

We return to Peru鈥檚 mega port - the Chancay Port. This $3.5bn project is a joint venture between China鈥檚 state-owned shipping company Cosco Shipping and Peruvian mining company Volcan. It鈥檚 already starting to have an impact on local businesses.

We find out what鈥檚 giving it the edge, how local fruit producers are particularly benefiting, and what obstacles still need to be overcome, both politically and logistically.
