He added that since October they have been acquiring “Novel products” of Chinese factorieswhich arrived in December and began to be sold in January. In addition, regarding the rise of electronic commerce, he said that his projection is to modernize the business and sell online through platforms such as Facebook and Tiktok, so entrepreneurs have received trainingalthough they still do not end up adapting to this model. It is a battle that has been running for three years.

Average ticket
A month after the return to classes, it is common for parents to begin to budget the list of school supplies. According to Market Freethe average ticket would be S/400, and increases even more in the days before return to classes. In addition, the categories of computing and accessories, audio and shoes would record the greatest growth in this season.

In Round Table they offer school products of various qualities, with prices ranging from S/12 to S/100. They have also expanded their offer around the tendency of the kawaii and the capibaras.
Puerto de Chancay: A challenge for Peruvian entrepreneurs before Chinese competition
Beyond the season, Goytizolo warned that Peruvian merchants face a new challenge with the inauguration of the Chancay portsince greater competition is expected to the possible income of more Chinese manufacturers to the local market.
“It will test the ability of Peruvian importers to stay competitive,” said the round table spokesman.
Currently, around 80 Chinese importers operate in the countrybenefited by incentives of your government that can cover up to 30% of the value of merchandise. This advantage, Goytizolo explained, allows Chinese entrepreneurs to offer lower prices and have a more agile network of contacts in their country of origin
In contrast, Peruvian importers must face barriers such as language and lack of state incentives to compete on equal terms, although there are Peruvian manufacturers of innovative products. Nor do they have time for business trips.
