Peru's blueberry export season wrapped up with approximately 383,000 tons shipped, landing in line with pre-season forecasts. ProArándanos president Miguel Bentín described the results as a demonstration of the industry's resilience.
Peru is the world's largest blueberry exporter and a cornerstone of North American supply, particularly during the fall and winter months. A season that met projections is meaningful context — especially given earlier coverage of El Niño risks and overlapping global supply windows that were pressuring prices.
With the Peruvian season now closed, attention shifts to how Northern Hemisphere volumes from the U.S. and Canada fill the demand picture through summer. Worth monitoring whether the 383,000-ton outcome affects how buyers and importers plan for the next Peruvian season.
