2025 is expected to end with Peru breaking a new record in agricultural exports, with projections indicating it will exceed $14 billion.
Fresh Fruit, a Latin American commercial intelligence firm, reports the country had already exported $11.02 billion worth of agricultural products by October, representing an 18 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.
At its current pace, Peru was expected to surpass its total agroexports for 2024 by mid-November, six weeks before the end of the year.
October is a key month for Peruvian agriculture, as it’s the peak season for blueberries and grapes. The 30-day period saw a five percent dip in exportsl from a year ago, which experts mainly attribute to a weaker-than-expected blueberry season.
Average prices dropped to $4.49 per 2.2 lbs. from $6.22 the previous year, cutting blueberry revenues for the month from $600 million in 2024 to $450 million in 2025.
Blueberries continue to lead the agroexport portfolio, with 300,000 tons shipped for $1.79 billion, a 29 percent increase in volume and a 5 percent rise in value compared to the same period in 2024. The decline in global prices was offset by higher yields.
Avocados followed as the second most important product, with over 877,000 tons exported for $1.6 billion, up 42 percent in volume and 18 percent in value, despite a 17 percent decline in average price.
Meanwhile, supported by the overlap of two campaigns, table grapes generated nearly $900 million, reinforcing their role as a core export crop.
The United States remained the leading market, absorbing 33 percent of total exports, about $3.6 billion, mainly blueberries, coffee, and grapes.
The latest data confirms that Peru’s agroexport success is no longer tied to a single product or region. With nearly 15 products already surpassing $100 million in exports, the country has built a diversified, resilient agricultural export sector.
