Tridge summary

The following two years, 2017 and 2018, were complicated in the domestic market (due to the El Niño Phenomenon). This caused vegetable exports to contract by 2% on average each year, reaching a value of US$798 million. Despite the negative results, Peruvian products recovered and, in 2019, resumed the path of growth, adding shipments of US$ 845 million (6% more than the previous year). The positive effects were repeated the following two years, despite the pandemic. Thus, exports increased 7% on average during 2020 and 2021, breaking a record by adding US$973 million last year. It was expected that, in 2022, vegetable exports would continue to increase; however, the first months showed an unfavorable result. Between January and May 2022, Peruvian shipments of these foods totaled US$365 million, 3% less compared to the previous year. Among the vegetables that stood out the most were asparagus and artichoke, which had joint participation of 63% in the exports of this group of products.
