Superfoods are consolidated as Peru's exportable supply

The article highlights the Netherlands, UK, Spain, and Germany as the primary consumers of Peru's fruit and vegetable exports in the EU, with the total export value reaching 3,432 million dollars in 2021, marking a 13% increase from the previous year. This growth is largely due to increased shipments of avocados, unroasted coffee, blueberries, and grapes. The Fruit Logistica trade fair in Berlin is crucial for promoting Peruvian superfoods and other products, with 147 Peruvian agro-export companies participating since 2016, generating over 1,100 million dollars in business opportunities. Peru has also used the platform to introduce other products like pineapple, ginger, and pomegranate. In 2021, shipments to Germany, specifically to Berlin, totaled 309 million dollars, with coffee and cocoa butter being the key exports, and regional shipments exceeding 211 million dollars, showing a slight increase from the previous year. Peru has 22 trade agreements covering 58 markets, enabling small and medium-sized companies to reach a wider audience, with over 5,800 MSMEs exporting their products in 2021.
