Tridge summary
Peru's asparagus exports in 2022 saw a decline in both volume and value compared to the previous year, totaling 172,936 tons with a value of $516 million, marking a 4% decrease in volume and 7% decrease in value. This was largely due to increased production in Europe, the growth of the Mexican supply, and stricter phytosanitary requirements in the U.S. The drop in exports led to a 3% decrease in the price received, with the average price per kilogram being $2.98. The United States, Spain, and the Netherlands were the main destinations for Peruvian asparagus, with exports to the U.S. seeing a decrease in both volume and value. However, shipments to Spain and the Netherlands saw an increase in both volume and value. It is anticipated that the lifting of the fumigation requirement in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2023 could potentially improve the situation for Peruvian asparagus exporters.
