The final report, “Best Practices to Promote Transparency in the Logistic Supply Chain: Information Platforms of Logistic Services for Foreign Trade”, documents the results of a project organized by Peru’s Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (MINCETUR) in collaboration with APEC economies, such as Hong Kong, China; Korea; and the United States, funded by the APEC Support Fund.
The project highlights the importance of transparency in the logistic supply chain for foreign trade, focusing on cost reduction, competitiveness improvement, and fostering trust among public and private stakeholders. It included a workshop held in Lima, Peru, on 17 August 2024, where best practices and innovative solutions were presented.
The report concludes with targeted policy recommendations focused on strengthening transparency in international trade logistics through collaborative governance at logistic nodes, adoption of interoperable digital technologies, regulatory clarity, stakeholder engagement, and regional data-sharing initiatives, highlighting the need for coordinated action to enable traceable, efficient, and trustworthy supply chains.
