Peruvian blueberry export volumes are expected to decline this season, according to industry experts who are tracking the situation closely. The drop mirrors what happened during the 2023/24 season, when reduced supply helped push prices higher and gave growers some relief after a period of oversupply-driven margin compression.
Peru is one of the single most important blueberry origins for the North American market, particularly during the fall window. A volume drop from that source has direct implications for retail availability and pricing across the category heading into Q4.
Watch for tightening spot availability on conventional Peruvian blueberries as the season ramps up, and keep an eye on whether the anticipated price recovery actually materializes or whether other origins step in to fill the gap.
