Peru's agricultural exports are projected to reach $5.4 billion, with blueberries emerging as one of the strongest performers thanks to higher export volumes, improved prices, and an earlier start to the season. The data reflects a strong first half for Peruvian fresh produce flowing into North American and European markets.
Peru is a critical off-season supplier for North America, particularly for blueberries, asparagus, and table grapes. The strong performance this year has been supported by favorable growing conditions and competitive pricing — but El Niño is now looming as a potential disruptor for the second half of 2026 and into 2027.
Buyers sourcing Peruvian blueberries, asparagus, or grapes should watch El Niño developments closely. If weather patterns shift, the supply and pricing advantages that made Peru a strong performer this year could reverse quickly heading into the fall and winter import window.
