Peru's blueberry exports are up 74% — and more of it is heading to the U.S.

Peruvian blueberry exports reached 53,465 tons through week 32 of the 2026/27 campaign, a 74% increase over the same period last season. The distribution among destination markets has shifted, with the United States and other markets picking up volume that had previously gone to China.

Peru has become the dominant force in the global blueberry trade, and this volume surge is arriving precisely as North American domestic seasons wind down. For buyers, this means the supply bridge between domestic seasons is getting wider and more reliable — but it also means pricing pressure on any remaining domestic product.

Watch how this affects the overlapping Latin American blueberry windows that have already been reshuffling the category calendar. With more Peruvian volume redirected toward the U.S., competition among import suppliers could intensify heading into the fall.
