The Peruvian agricultural sector, encompassing both traditional and non-traditional crops, has emerged as the country's second most profitable economic activity, contributing 19.26% to the national economy in 2020. Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, the non-traditional agricultural sector saw a significant increase in international sales, reaching US $ 6,838 million in 2020, a 33.17% increase from 2017. The sector's success is attributed to the added value of processing and exporting various products, including fruits and vegetables. Despite only accounting for 6.8% of the total increase, the fresh vegetable subsector positions Peru as the leading exporter in South America and the eighteenth globally. The country's production and export of fruits and vegetables have seen impressive growth, with a particular rise in the demand for organic produce in international markets.
