The Ministry of Production held a meeting with micro and small business leaders on March 24 to discuss ways to strengthen the Compras a MYPErú program. Minister César Quispe Luján was joined by Deputy Minister Juan Carlos Requejo and the executive director of the National Program Compras a MYPErú, as part of an ongoing policy of direct dialogue between the government and productive sectors.
During the meeting, representatives from micro and small businesses called for increased funding for the program in order to expand opportunities for access to state markets. Quispe Luján said he is working on securing resources aimed at boosting production and creating more jobs through this initiative. He also explained that the government is considering reallocating funds among ministries to support the program’s sustainability in both the short and medium term.
“The country faces significant pressure on public spending, but we are identifying budget items in different ministries that can be directed toward Compras a MYPErú. This is a strategic decision: investing in micro and small enterprises means betting on employment, production, and economic recovery,” Quispe Luján said.
He also emphasized that strengthening Compras a MYPErú must go hand-in-hand with zero tolerance for corruption. According to Quispe Luján, mechanisms are being put in place for oversight and concurrent control so that selection processes remain transparent, merit-based, and free from irregularities.
The ministry is also working on simplifying access procedures for the program in coordination with trade associations, aiming to remove barriers so more productive units can participate. The minister reaffirmed his commitment to consolidating micro and small enterprises as key drivers of national productive development through concrete actions combining increased budgets, improved processes, and direct engagement with sector actors.
