Tridge summary

Despite a 23% drop in volume, Peru's blueberry export campaign saw a 29% increase in value, reaching US$ 1,880 million, due to a 68% increase in average global price.

The 2024-2025 campaign is projected to see a significant recovery, with export projections near 300 thousand tons, thanks to a more stable climate and new crop fields.
