Tridge summary
Peruvian blueberry exports saw a 30% growth in volume, reaching 286,657 tons, but a 16% decrease in price led to a 9% increase in value to $1.429 billion. The price drop contributed to the industry's growth, which has seen a significant increase since 2019, when shipments reached around 125,000 tons.
