Peruvian table grape exports are expected to set a record this season.
The main export markets for these table grapes are the U.S., the Netherlands, Hong Kong, the UK, and China, among others.
Agraria reports from May to December 27, 2021, Peru exported 281,000 tons of fresh table grapes showing an increase of 17 percent compared to the 240,000 tons shipped during the same period the previous year.
Thus far this season the numbers reflect: October 36,500 tons, November 97,110 tons, as of December 27 138,320 tons.
Compared to the same months the previous year: October 37,000 tons, November 80,875 tons, and December 138,401 tons.
During the 2021/2022 season, it is expected to break a record in exports of fresh table grapes because the months of January, February, and March are yet to be counted and more late grapes, especially in February and March are forecast.
By the conclusion of the 2021/2022 season, exports of fresh table grapes from Peru should grow 20 percent in volume, compared to what was achieved in the previous season.
