Peru reached a new milestone in its agricultural export development by exporting 540 agricultural products to 115 international destinations during 2025, highlighted the Ministry of Agrarian Development (Midagri).
According to official National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa) records, agricultural exports this year exceeded 3 million tons, with avocados leading the way at 767,230 tons (23%), followed by grapes at 555,524 tons (17%), blueberries at 343,537 tons (10%), mandarins at 249,070 tons (8%), and mangoes at 206,815 tons (6%).
Peruvian agricultural products were primarily exported to the United States, which accounted for 28% of the total volume, followed by the Netherlands (19%).
Other markets included Spain, China, Chile, and Mexico, which together represented 24% of total exports, demonstrating the diversification and strength of the national supply.
“This historic record is the result of our ongoing efforts to protect the country's agricultural health”, said minister of Agriculture and Irrigation, Vladimir Cuno.
“From Midagri with the important work of the National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa), we guarantee compliance with international phytosanitary standards, which strengthens market confidence and opens new opportunities for our producers, especially small and medium-sized farmers,” explained.
These advances have been possible thanks to Peru's robust phytosanitary status, maintained through collaborative work with producers and the private sector.
This collaboration has allowed Peru to prevent and control high-impact pests such as the fruit fly, fusarium wilt, and the potato tuber moth, among others.
“The growth in agricultural exports and the conquest of new markets are the result of joint work between the government and the private sector. This year, with the support of Senasa we have secured 23 phytosanitary market access agreements for Peruvian agricultural products, expanding trade opportunities for our producers,” declared the head of Midagri.
Thanks to increased global demand and the country's phytosanitary status, Peru has positioned itself as the world's leading exporter of grapes and blueberries, the second largest exporter of avocados, and one of the main suppliers of citrus fruits and mangoes globally, generating higher incomes and opportunities for thousands of farming families.
Emerging products gaining market share
In addition to traditional products, Peru's agricultural export basket continues to diversify. Granadilla stands out, cultivated in regions such as Pasco, Junín, Huánuco, and Ancash, which exported 418 tons, mainly to the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, and France, establishing itself as a product with high potential in specialized markets.
Likewise, aguaymanto, primarily from Ancash and Cajamarca, reached 199 tons, reaching eight international markets including Germany, the Netherlands, Canada, Russia, Dubai, Uruguay, Spain, and Hong Kong.
In this way, Midagri reaffirms its commitment to continue strengthening agricultural health, promoting the opening of new markets and fostering agricultural export growth.
