Peru's exports rebounded well in 2009. From the low point reached in January 2009, exports managed to put in their third best month ever in December 2009.
It's all thanks to the rebound in metals prices, of course, especially Peru's main exports of copper and gold. And if we look at the monthly percentage breakdown of metal mining exports to everything else that Peru exports, it's remained remarkably similar over these last three years. Mining exports made up 60% of the total back then and they still do today.
Just another monoculture, despite all the propaganda
