Peru's agricultural exports are expected to exceed $ 15 billion by the end of 2025, a new record figure driven primarily by shipments of blueberries, grapes, and avocados, reported the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri).
According to Midagri, six non-traditional products—blueberries, avocados, coffee, grapes, cocoa, and asparagus—accumulated sales of more than $ 7.7 billion between January and November 2025, and are estimated to reach $ 8.7 billion by the end of 2025, representing more than 58% of total agricultural exports and a 17% increase compared to 2024.
In the case of fresh blueberries, exports exceeded $ 2.27 billion through November, and a value of $ 2.40 billion is projected for all of 2025, with an expected growth of 6.1%. In terms of volume, shipments are expected to increase from 325,800 tons in 2024 to approximately 400,000 tons in 2025, representing a 23% increase.
The United States accounted for 50% of Peruvian blueberry exports, followed by the Netherlands with 23%, while China, the United Kingdom, Spain, Canada, and Taiwan showed increased demand, along with the opening of new markets such as India, Israel, and Turkey.
Fresh avocados consolidated their position as the second most important Peruvian export product. In the 2024-2025 season, shipments reached 758,000 tons, valued at $ 1.34 billion, representing a 36% increase in volume and a 10% increase in value.
The Ministry of Agriculture (Midagri) projects that Peruvian fresh avocados exports throughout 2025 will have reached US$1.36 billion, an increase of 9.4% compared to the previous year.
The main destination markets for Peruvian fresh avocados were Europe, where the Netherlands, Spain, and Italy accounted for approximately 55% of the Peruvian exported volume, while the United States represented around 13% of the volume and 15% of the value, although increased international supply put downward pressure on prices toward the end of the year.
Peruvian table grapes consolidated their position as one of the country's leading agricultural exports. As of November, shipments reached $ 1.38 billion and a volume of 533,000 tons, representing a 22.4% increase in value and a 45% increase in volume compared to the same period in 2024.
Midagri expects Peruvian table grape exports throughout 2025 to reach US$1.932 billion.
The United States led the destinations for Peruvian grapes with a 35% share, followed by the Netherlands, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Canada, although Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets shows a sustained expansion.
In the case of coffee, exports totaled $ 1.58 billion and 219,600 tons through November 2025, representing a 54% increase in value, despite a 4% reduction in volume. For year-end, the Ministry of Agriculture (Midagri) projects sales of $ 1.76 billion, driven by rising international prices due to a drop in global supply, primarily in Brazil and Vietnam.
Exports of raw cocoa beans exceeded $ 876 million in the first months of the year, a 25% increase compared to 2024, and are estimated to reach $ 897 million by the end of 2025, as a result of the production crisis in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world's leading producers.
According to the Economic Studies Department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation (Midagri), the European Union and the United States continue to be the main destinations for Peruvian agricultural exports, with a combined share exceeding 63% of total sales, as part of a strategy aimed at consolidating traditional markets and expanding into new destinations.
