Local fruit farmer Percy Perez is proudly showing off his crops.

He grows raspberries, blackberries and blueberries in Hidal region.

He's a 15-minute drive from Chiang Kai-Port.

A lot of warehouses are being created.

I've come for a tour of Chiang Kai-Port, and I'm off in the lift at the fifth floor to meet local Connie Chavez-Otado, who works for Costco Shipping.

What do you have to do?

Chiang Kai is a small fishing town around 80 kilometres north from the capital, Lima.

That's Jorge Lopez, the general manager of the theme park at Chiang Kai Castle.

Although he's a supporter of the port, he says the growing population and businesses need more assistance.

There are also calls for new train lines and roads to make it easier for produce to reach the port from other countries in the region.

So although local and regional businesses are benefiting from the mega port, there's still work to be done.
