Peru's Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation announced that the Malaysian Department of Agriculture has established phytosanitary requirements for Peruvian Hass avocados to enter its market, allowing Peru to access 67 global markets. To export to Malaysia, production sites and processing plants must be registered with the National Agrarian Health Service of Peru prior to each export campaign. Peru has rapidly expanded its avocado production, making it the second largest exporter in the world, with over 500,000 tons exported in 2021 to countries including the United States, Chile, China, Japan, and the European Union.
