Peru's blueberry season has shortened, and the export peak has ended earlier than usual.

Tridge summary
Data shows that the export volume for this season has reached its peak in the 40th week, at approximately 21,000 tons, two weeks ahead of the expected peak (42nd week, 24,000 tons) at the start of the season, with a 12.5% drop in production. The association explained that the shipment situation in the main production areas (La Libertad and Lambayeque regions) and weather conditions have affected the harvest and shipment timing, leading to adjustments in the forecast results.
The Peruvian blueberry export season almost covers the entire year, from May each year to April the following year. Despite the slowdown in exports, the cumulative export volume of Peruvian blueberries since May has exceeded 215,000 tons, equivalent to 55-60% of the predicted volume for this season. Although the export volume may ultimately not reach the record of the previous season, the main export markets have all maintained steady growth. In terms of export destinations, the United States remains the primary market for Peruvian blueberries, accounting for 44% of the total exports, followed by Europe (35%) and China (15%).
Proarándanos predicts that blueberry exports will gradually decrease in the coming weeks, further confirming the trend of a shortened season and a final total volume below expectations.
In the 2024/25 season, Peruvian blueberry exports exceeded 320,000 tons, setting a new historical record, with a longer harvest period and stable supply. In comparison, the harvest volume and period for this season have both decreased, which may impact the trade and price of Peruvian blueberries.
