Agricultural products continue to gain ground in global markets.
Fruits and vegetables accounted for more than 60% of non-traditional exports to over 100 markets during the first 11 months of 2025 (January–November), reaffirming Peru as one of the world's leading producers and exporters of blueberries, grapes, avocados, mangoes, and other crops, the
Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) reported on Monday.
It should be highlighted that, within the non-traditional export basket, fruit and vegetable exports totaled more than US$6.983 billion (60% of non-traditional agricultural exports) through November 2025.
This represented an 11.8% increase compared with 2024, driven primarily by stronger food demand from the United States, Europe, and Asia.
Midagri indicated that total agricultural exports reached US$13.312 billion between January and November 2025.
During the first 11 months of last year, Peru's highland and jungle regions became the main food suppliers to the U.S., Europe, and Asia, allowing projections to place agricultural exports at around US$15 billion by the end of 2025—a record figure for agri-exports.
As of November, 16 of the 24 Peruvian regions recorded significant growth and momentum in agri-export and commercial activity.
It was led by producing areas in the jungle region, where exports increased 53%, followed by the highlands (+44.8%) and the coast (+13.1%), consolidating Peru's strong regional export performance.
