Peru's blueberry export volume is projected to surpass 400,000 tons in 2026, according to projections cited by BASF. Data from Peru's Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation shows the country exported 373,514 tons of blueberries in 2025, generating $2.457 billion in export revenue — a baseline that makes the 2026 projection a meaningful step up.
Peru has become the world's largest blueberry exporter by volume, and a significant share of its output moves into North American retail and foodservice channels. An increase of this magnitude would add substantial supply to a category that already saw California peak volumes pass and Oregon coming on strong.
The previously covered 40% surge projection and El Niño risk factors are relevant context here — this new data point adds specificity with a concrete tonnage target. Buyers sourcing Peruvian blueberries for fall and winter programs should factor in what a 400,000-ton export season means for pricing leverage.
