A four percent increase is predicted for Peruvian table grape exports for the 2025-26 season. The forecast reveals 86,123,321 8.2-kilo boxes (39,872 containers), compared to the 82,890,138 boxes (38,375 containers) shipped in the previous season (2024-25). This is according to Agraria, the Association of Table Grape Producers and Exporters of Peru (Provid).
This is the association’s first estimate, and it will be progressively updated as the 2025-26 season progresses.
Peru’s table grape campaign can be divided into four stages: August-October (week 34 to week 42), where 5 percent of the projected volume is expected to be shipped; October-December (week 43 to week 51), where 57 percent would be shipped; December-February (week 52 to week 8), where 34 percent would be exported; and February-March (week 9 to week 17), where the remaining 5 percent would be allocated.
The total projected volume for the 2025-26 campaign, the northern region (Piura, Lambayeque, La Libertad, and Áncash) would ship 39.6 million boxes, which would represent an increase of 1.5 percent compared to the 39.0 million boxes shipped in the previous campaign. The north would account for 46 percent of the total.
Meanwhile, shipments from the south (Lima, Ica, Arequipa, and Moquegua) would total 46.6 million boxes, representing a 6.4 percent increase compared to the 43.8 million boxes exported in the 2024-25 campaign. This region would account for 54 percent of the total.
In the northern campaign, the largest volumes to be shipped would be reported in the second period. From August to October (week 34 to week 42), 10 percent would be shipped; from October to December (week 43 to week 51), 83 percent would be shipped; from December to February (week 52 to week 8), 7 percent would be exported; and from February to March (week 9 to week 17), only 0.01 percent of the total would be shipped.
In the southern campaign, being later than the northern one, the peak would be recorded in the third period. From August to October (week 34 to week 42), 1 percent would be shipped; from October to December (week 43 to week 51), 34 percent would be shipped; from December to February (week 52 to week 8), 57 percent would be exported; and from February to March (week 9 to week 17), the remaining 8 percent would be shipped.
