Peru's blueberry industry just crossed $2.5B in revenue and opened 18 new export markets

Peru's blueberry sector generated over $2.5 billion in revenue in 2025 and has now expanded into 18 new international markets, cementing its position as the country's top high-value agricultural export. The industry has grown rapidly and shows no signs of slowing its global reach.

For North American buyers, Peru is already the dominant source of imported blueberries during the Northern Hemisphere's off-season window. A sector this large and this diversified in its customer base carries real pricing and volume implications — especially as El Niño weather risks loom over future South American growing seasons.

Watch for how Peruvian volume and pricing trends develop as the 2026-27 export season approaches. Any disruption or surplus from Peru tends to move the needle on U.S. blueberry markets.
