Peru’s avocado revolution continues to expand in both new and established markets. In the first six months of 2025, the Latin American country’s avocado exports to the U.S. increased 42 percent compared to the same period last year. According to the Peruvian Exporters Association (ADEX), these deliveries generated a profit of $134 million for Peru.
The North American market is Peru’s third-largest export destination for avocados, following the Netherlands and Spain.
Overall, Peruvian avocado shipments increased 16 percent, totaling over $917 million. The increase was mainly driven by an 18 percent order uptick from the Netherlands, which accounts for 33.5 percent of total avocado exports.
Fresh avocados make up more than 95 percent of the country’s fruit exports, making it over $876 million. Other profitable categories are frozen avocados ($32.897 million) and avocado pulp or purée ($7.961 million).
According to Trade Map, in 2024, Peru was the world’s second-largest avocado exporter, second only to Mexico and ahead of the Netherlands, Spain, Morocco, Colombia, Chile, and Israel.
