Peru's fruit and vegetable exports are projected to reach US$ 10,000 million in 2022, a 15% increase from the previous year, with a peak of US$ 11,554 million expected in 2023.

The agricultural sector is also facing a crisis, and the union has presented the Executive with a proposal to address the issue.
