In 2024, Peruvian fruit exports exceeded $6 billion, according to Agraria, citing the head of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur), Desilú León Chempén.
She highlighted that blueberry shipments abroad exceeded $2 billion, while avocado shipments amounted to more than $1.3 billion. Regarding the latter, she said it is a product that is positioning itself in different markets, and there are still more destinations to reach.
Regarding grapes, a large quantity of Peruvian grapes are entering markets such as Japan and China. New agreements are expected to be closed soon with Indonesia and India.
Peruvian exports reach the destination markets with very important quality certifications.
“The phytosanitary requirements that we have to enter markets such as the European Union or Asia are quite demanding, that is, our products are of quality,” said León Chempén.
With the inauguration of the Chancay megaport, Peru has an enormous opportunity, she said, which considerably reduces travel time.
“The first shipments have already left, which have taken 23 days to reach Asia, that is, a saving of 14 days in the transfer of our fresh products,” she said.
