Event overview
EXPO PESCA & ACUIPERU 2027 returns to the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima from 8 to 10 September 2027, bringing fishing, aquaculture and seafood-processing buyers together with equipment makers, suppliers and service providers from across Latin America.
The biennial fair covers vessels and gear, hatchery and grow-out technology, refrigeration, processing and packaging, plus the Seafood Lima trade strand for fish, shellfish and value-added products.
With free visitor registration and a technical congress alongside the floor, it is a practical meeting point for Peruvian producers and international exporters targeting one of the world's leading fishing economies.
TL;DR
Visit to compare fishing, aquaculture and processing equipment in one place, meet Peruvian fleet owners and processors, and use the technical congress to understand local operating conditions. A free badge and a three-day run make it efficient for buyers who need several supplier meetings in Lima.
Exhibit to reach Peru's fishmeal, fleet and aquaculture operators directly, launch processing or cold-chain equipment into a market with strong reinvestment needs, and use Seafood Lima to meet importers and exporters in the same hall.

Edition recap
The 2025 edition ran from 3 to 5 September at the Centro de Exposiciones Jockey in Lima, with more than 160 exhibitors and over 9,500 specialist visitors from more than 15 countries. PRODUCE led a public-sector pavilion with IMARPE, SANIPES, FONDEPES and other agencies, while the technical congress covered extraction, cultivation, marketing and processing technology.
Impact
For a fishing-equipment or processing supplier, the show concentrates Peruvian fleet owners, plant managers and aquaculture operators in one Lima venue over three days. The 2025 edition's 9,500 specialist visitors and 160-plus exhibitors give a credible benchmark, but the 2027 edition is still an estimate rather than a published forecast.
Audience quality
The audience is specialist rather than consumer: fishing companies, processors, aquaculture producers, importers and technical staff. Peru's concentration of fishmeal and seafood processing in and around Lima means a relatively high share of visitors can influence capital-equipment decisions, although exact buyer titles are not published.
Exhibitor outcomes
ROI depends on whether the exhibitor has Spanish-speaking staff and a local service or distributor plan. The fair is compact enough for a small stand and a focused meeting schedule, but Peru's buying cycles are relationship-led; a single show is best treated as pipeline building, not immediate order volume.
Intelligence
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Why it matters
Peru's anchovy fishery, fishmeal industry and fast-growing aquaculture sector make it a high-value market for equipment, cold-chain and processing suppliers. Lima is the commercial capital and the natural meeting point for fleet owners, plant managers and importers from across the country.
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Traceability and sustainable sourcing
Buyers increasingly ask for documented catch origin, feed provenance and chain-of-custody data, pushing suppliers to offer digital traceability and certified sustainable production.
What it changes: Equipment and service providers that can demonstrate traceability and sustainability credentials are better placed with Peruvian exporters serving strict North American and European buyers.
Aquaculture expansion and health management
Peruvian aquaculture is diversifying beyond anchovy-based fishmeal, with tilapia, trout and shrimp farms investing in better hatchery, water treatment and disease-control technology.
What it changes: Growth in grow-out capacity creates demand for aeration, pumping, filtration, feed systems and veterinary services that are not tied to the wild-catch cycle.
Processing automation and cold-chain efficiency
Fishmeal, canning and frozen-seafood plants are upgrading lines to cut energy use, improve yield and meet stricter food-safety audits, with automation and refrigeration efficiency at the centre.
What it changes: Peruvian processors are long-run buyers of capital equipment, so demonstrations and local service capability matter more than a low headline price.

Plan your trip

Register online and check passport validity — Free visitor registration; confirm the badge QR arrives by email.
Book flights and a refundable hotel in Miraflores or Surco — Arrive 7 September to allow a buffer before the opening morning.
Build a target exhibitor list and request meetings — Prioritise fleet, aquaculture and processing suppliers relevant to your buying brief.
Confirm airport transfer and print the boarding pass — Use an authorised taxi or ride-hail; keep a digital and paper copy of the pass.
Check the hall layout and congress programme — Plan a route around your priority stands and leave time for the technical sessions.
