The Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation of Peru is working to export passion fruit (Passiflora ligularis) from Peru to various international markets, including Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Ecuador, South Korea, and South Africa. This initiative aims to reach agro-export sales close to US $ 8,000 million, supported by the phytosanitary certification that ensures the product is pest-free. A 2016-2018 project by SENASA and INNOVATE PERú confirmed that passion fruit is not a host of two fruit flies, opening up more international markets. Local governments are providing technical assistance to small producers to meet export requirements, and over 100 producers have received training since 2018. The Peruvian Technical Standard on 'Good Agricultural Practices of La Granadilla' has been approved, and the Association of Agricultural Producers Guilds of Peru (AGAP) sees the product as a potential way to increase Peruvian exports to the United States.
