Source: Economic Week The FEN damages will have a medium-term impact.

The sector represents 7.2% of Piura’s GDP. Recovery will depend on the speed with which transport routes, mainly land, are rebuilt. 1,700 km of roads have been destroyed and their total reconstruction cost would amount to US $ 1,479 million, according to APOYO Consultoría (AC). “The (land) accesses from Virú (south of Trujillo) to the north have been blocked.

Unattractive cabotage after the child

Maintaining cabotage when the El Niño Costero (Fen) phenomenon ends is unattractive due to its high costs, due to the lack of infrastructure and adequate logistics, said Juan Carlos Paz, director of water transport at the MTC. The current costs of cabotage are three times higher than in land transport, says Paz. Furthermore, “a maritime transfer from Lima to Trujillo takes an average of five days between crossing and disembarking; the freight (by land) takes two, ”says Francisco D’Angelo, executive VP of Yobel SCM. For Ángel Becerra, director of GC1, the regulations limit competition and the impact of cabotage. “The MTC is working on a bill and on the development of logistics platforms to promote cabotage,” said Paz.

By: Gustavo Zapata, Yobel SCM business unit manager

Peruvian retail is undergoing an important transformation process with the strong expansion of convenience stores. Although these are not totally new in the Peruvian market since they already existed in the fuel service stations (with the chains Listo !, Viva, Jet Market, among others); The novelty is in the accelerated growth of the stand alone format, driven by the Tambo + and Aruma stores, chains managed by Lindcorp. To these is added the Mexican Oxxo, which has already begun to open stores in Lima, while it is expected that the purchase of MiMarket by InRetail (from the Interbank Group) and Viva by the Romero Group will also boost the sector. This market has great growth potential both in Lima and in the provinces, a place that would begin to be entered by Tambo + as of next year. According to the Euromonitor consulting firm, in Peru there is one convenience store for every 800,000 inhabitants, this ratio is 6,000 in the Chilean market. In addition, this consultancy expects that the sales of these chains will go from US $ 21 to US $ 62 million between 2016 and 2021. Precisely, for the year of the Bicentennial of Independence, both Tambo + and Oxxo expect to have about 600 stores.

By: Gustavo Zapata Talledo, Business Unit Manager

Thus, according to estimates from the Foreign Trade Society (Comex Peru), these transactions would reach US $ 2,500 million in 2018, which would represent a growth of 47% from 2013 to the present year. The Lima Chamber of Commerce is a bit more optimistic and estimates revenues of US $ 3 billion for this year, explained by purchases made by six million people. From the government, the Minister of Production, Raúl Pérez-Reyes estimates that electronic commerce already represents 7% of total sales in Peru, when its share was practically close to zero three years ago. And it is that, according to Cash Payment estimates, about 1,000 companies are added annually to electronic commerce in the country. Of these, many players come from physical retail and another important part are pure ventures.

Yobel will enhance maquiladora services for US clients.

By: Francisco D’Angelo, Director – Manager of Yobel SCM Management, August 24, 2019 Major North American companies are meeting to close deals. Competitive advantage over lower costs in the Asian country is the reduction in response times. The trade war that the United States and China are facing has created adverse situations for many economic agents. But not everything is negative and some opportunities are opening up for Peruvian companies; This is the case of Yobel Suppl Chain Management (SCM), which has received interest from US companies to produce personal care, beauty and jewelry lines, which were made by Chinese industries.

Francisco D’Angelo, managing director of Yobel SCM, indicated that they are receiving important companies from the United States that are looking at the option of producing in the local market. “I believe that the advantage we have in terms of costs, considering that those in China are cheaper, is the reaction we will have to respond to the service,” he said after his participation in ExpoGestión 2019. Thus, while the Asian country reacts in a period of 18 days or more, Peru, being in the same time range as the United States, can react faster, and the production batches can be smaller, making our country more flexible, compared to to China which sets production parameters in thousands. “We have to compete not in the specific cost of a product but in the cost of the total supply chain, in terms of how much you invest in inventory or in time,” said D’Angelo, after indicating that another strength is using its logistics chain to ship products to the United States or dispatch directly where customers are based. New business Focused mainly within its Personal Care and Fragrances Manufacturing division, in addition to jewelry, Yobel has seen growth in its “inhouse” line (set up in its clients’ factories and warehouses), which has shown aggressive growth in sales. last years. “In Peru we have about 10 to 15 clients, and we are exploring new income, while in the countries where we have a presence, which are about 10, this service will grow, which is a derivative of the outsourcing we carry out,” said the executive.
