on Friday welcomed the first shipment of Peruvian grapes imported by company Fresh del Monte Japan, which plans to acquire 60 containers as an initial test.
Consisting of 125 million consumers, the Japanese market is now open for the consumption of 26 varieties of Peruvian grapes —one of the most successful fruits in Peru's exportable supply.
In 2022, grape exports to 53 foreign markets amounted to US$1.362 billion —an 8.9% growth compared to the previous year.
In regional terms, this particularly benefits Ica, Piura, Lambayeque, and La Libertad —the main grape-exporting regions in Peru.
It is important to mention that
fresh Peruvian grapes enjoy tariff-free access to Japan, under the Japan-Peru Economic Partnership Agreement (on a seasonal basis) and under the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
