The Peruvian Foreign Trade Society (ComexPerú) anticipates that raspberries could become a significant export earner for Peru, following the success of blueberries. Despite current low-volume exports, the entry of Peruvian raspberries into the US market, a major step towards mass exportation, could greatly boost Peruvian agroindustrial companies' interest in the crop. In 2019, the US imported raspberries for USD 1.36 million, marking a 20% increase from the previous year, and this trend is expected to persist. However, Peruvian exporters face competition from Mexico, which currently dominates the US raspberry market.

Currently, these products are being marketed as samples to potential buyers.
