Peru has successfully obtained permission to export fresh potatoes to Brazil, a major market with over 212 million consumers, thanks to the efforts of the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri) and the National Agrarian Health Service (Senasa). This expansion aims to benefit Peruvian farmers in regions such as Ayacucho, Huánuco, Junín, Huancavelica, Cusco, and Puno, known for their high potato production. The exports to Brazil will not require anti-sprouting treatment and will need to be accompanied by a Phytosanitary Certificate. This development is part of Peru's strategy to diversify its agricultural exports and is expected to significantly boost potato exports, which already reached over 9,806 tons in 2024 to countries like Bolivia and the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, negotiations are underway to also export blueberry plants and fresh fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries to Brazil.
