Exportaciones de arándanos peruanos crecen 25.5% y refuerzan su liderazgo mundial: Japón se consolida como mercado estratégico

Overview

  • Peru shipped $743.248 million in blueberries from January to September 2025, a 25.5% year‑over‑year increase, according to ADEX.
  • United States remained the top buyer at $321.3 million despite a 7% pullback, with the Netherlands at $142.5 million and China at $120.6 million posting strong gains.
  • Peru led global blueberry exports in 2024 with $2.27 billion and a 34% market share, Trade Map data show.
  • ADEX hosted the Japanese team at Family Farms in Ica and the PROLAN plant in Chincha, where harvest, selection, packaging and cold‑chain processes were verified.
  • Access to Japan still hinges on a government‑level phytosanitary protocol, which ADEX says requires coordinated work between the two countries’ sanitary authorities.
