Asparagus climatic conditions permit a year-round harvest in Peru, while the major production area is located in North of the country.

Peru is one of the few countries where asparagus is harvested year-round. However, around 40% of Peru's harvest occurs between September and December/January. The crop is grown along the country's coastal area with a total of 7,819 ha. Most producing areas(7,056 ha) are in the North, where the crop has traditionally grown for canned white asparagus. The primary distribution departments in Peru are Piura, Freedom, Ancash, Lima, and Ica.
