The
Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) reported that agro-export sales reached US$15.013 billion by the end of 2025, marking a 17.3% increase compared with results recorded the previous year.
"We are seeing a new agro-exports record. From Midagri, we will continue arranging access for Peruvian products worldwide and keep boosting the diversification of the country's export supply, increasingly involving small-scale farming in export activity," Agrarian Development and Irrigation Minister Vladimir Cuno said.
During the analyzed period, traditional agricultural exports totaled US$1.912 billion, representing a significant 55.4% increase compared with 2024.
This performance was driven by higher shipments of unroasted/non-decaffeinated coffee (US$1.797 billion) and refined sugar (US$39 million), whose sales rose by 63.2% and 13.8%, respectively.
These products accounted for 96% of traditional agricultural exports.
Meanwhile, non-traditional agricultural exports reached US$13.101 billion in sales, representing a 13.3% increase, a figure higher than that recorded in 2024.
The leading products in the agro-exports ranking during the period under review were fresh blueberries (US$2.457 billion; 18.8% share), fresh grapes (US$1.960 billion; 15%), avocados (US$1.363 billion; 10.4%), raw cacao beans (US$913 million; 7%), and fresh asparagus (US$409 million; 3.1%).
There were notable increases in shipments of fresh mangoes (US$339 million; 2.6%), other citrus fruits (US$250 million; 1.9%), animal feed (US$219 million; 1.7%), other fruits and nuts (US$197 million; 1.5%), and cacao butter with acidity above standard (US$167 million; 1.3%), among other products.
The products with the highest contribution included fresh grapes (15%), fresh blueberries (8.2%), raw cacao beans (23.4%), avocados (9.2%), high-acidity cacao butter (96.3%), other fruits and nuts (70.1%), cochineal carmine (94.1%), frozen mangoes (86.4%), cacao powder (66.2%), cacao fats and oils (5,454.4%), among others.
Undoubtedly, Peru consolidated its position as one of the world’s leading food exporters in 2025.
Last year alone, fruit and vegetable shipments reached US$8.104 billion by December 2025, accounting for 61.9% of non-traditional agro-exports and reflecting an 11.5% increase compared with 2024.
The top ten destination countries for Peruvian agricultural exports during the analyzed period were United States, Netherlands, Spain, Mexico, United Kingdom, China, Germany, Chile, Canada, and Ecuador.
Jointly, these markets accounted for 77.5% of the total export value over the period under review.
Between January and December, the agricultural trade balance posted a surplus of US$8.168 billion, up 26% from the same period last year.
This increase was driven by a stronger inflow of U.S. dollars from agricultural exports, which rose by US$2.216 billion compared with 2024.
