"The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) estimates the agreement would result in a larger increase in U.S. exports to Peru ($1.1 billion a year) than in Peru's exports to the United States ($439 million). According to the American Farm Bureau Federation, U.S. farm exports could increase by $705 million a year. U.S. GDP may rise by $2.1 billion or more annually under the agreement, according to the ITC."
