Total fresh fruit exports reached US$6.52 billion between January and November 2025, a 14.46% increase compared with the same period in 2024, the
Lima Chamber of Commerce (CCL) reported.
In volume terms, exports totaled 2,659,165 metric tons, a 31.11% increase compared with the previous year, according to the CCL's Foreign Trade Research and Development Institute (Idexcam).
"The growth in both value and volume of fresh fruit exports reflects the strong acceptance of Peruvian products in international markets, consolidating this subsector as a strategic component of agro-exports," Idexcam Chief Oscar Quiñones said.
"Its contribution is centered on the generation of foreign-source revenue and employment, as well as on driving the country’s economic growth," he added.
Fruit exports reached 96 international markets.
In this regard, the United States is the main destination, accounting for shipments worth US$2.418 billion and a volume of 871,000 metric tons. This represents 37% of total exports, consolidating it as the most important market for Peruvian fruit.
Other key destinations included the European Union, (US$2.133 billion; 967,000 metric tons) and the United Kingdom (US$361 million; 142,000 metric tons).
During the period under review, blueberries led overseas sales (US$2.216 billion; 331,000 metric tons), reflecting year-on-year increases of 10.52% in value and 14.92% in volume.
Fresh grape exports reached US$1.325 billion (500,000 metric tons), posting growth of 13.63% in value and 36.11% in volume compared with the previous year.
Meanwhile, mango exports totaled US$258 million (201,000 metric tons), representing a 7.07% increase in value and a notable 79.74% rise in volume.
In the case of blueberries, exports reached 50 markets, led by the United States (US$1.033 billion; 158,000 metric tons), followed by the European Union (US$598 million; 89,000 metric tons) and China (US$255 million; 35,000 metric tons).
As for fresh grapes, the product reached 53 markets, with the United States as the main destination (US$619 million; 240,000 metric tons), followed by the European Union (US$247 million; 99,000 metric tons) and Mexico (US$111 million; 43,000 metric tons).
Finally, fresh mango exports reached 42 markets, led by the European Union (US$109 million; 85,000 metric tons), followed by the United States (US$86 million; 74,000 metric tons) and Canada (US$13 million; 9,000 metric tons).
Although fruit shipments recorded growth in both value and volume between January and November, a decline in prices for several fruits was observed in October and November, affecting the sector's total export value.
According to Idexcam's analysis, values maintained a positive trend through September 2025; however, a slight slowdown occurred in October (-0.40%), down from US$851 million in 2024 to US$848 million in 2025.
Last November, the decline was more pronounced (-4.51%), as export values fell from US$1.018 billion to US$972 million, mainly due to seasonal adjustments and lower international prices.
In terms of volume, November also saw an 8.51% contraction, as shipments declined from 326,842 metric tons in 2024 to 299,137 metric tons in 2025, reflecting adjustments in exports due to seasonal and logistical factors, as well as lower product availability.
This situation was mainly linked to lower shipments and falling prices for the main export fruits: blueberries (-5.88%), fresh grapes (-1.22%), and mangoes (-57.09%), driven by increased supply and the normalization of production conditions in international markets.
