Despite a decrease in recent years, Peru remains the leading producer of potatoes in Latin America and continues to dominate the region's market. The first quarter of 2023 saw a 1% drop in potato exports, generating $542,614 in revenue. The main importers of Peruvian potatoes are Bolivia, Chile, the United States, Uruguay, and Mexico. These potatoes are primarily used in processed products such as chips, chicken products, vodkas, medicinal alcohol, puree, and bakery items. Despite the decline in exports, Peru exported 6,530 tons of potatoes worth $8 million in the previous year.
