Agronometrics in Charts: Peru’s blueberry exports surpass 2022-23 season levels
Peru’s blueberry exports in the 2024/2025 season saw a marked increase between weeks 37-39 and surpassed 2022/2023 levels in week 39. Last season, the exports were severely impacted by the effects of El Niño, which disrupted production due to high temperatures. This led to reduced volumes and delayed harvests, causing a marked dip in exports during the peak season.
However, improved weather conditions this year have allowed producers to bounce back, driving higher volumes of fresh blueberries to international markets. Despite this recovery, a new challenge is on the horizon in the form of a strike affecting cargo ports across the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts, which began on October 1. The strike threatens to halt the flow of goods, including perishable items like fruits and vegetables, through major ports from Maine to Texas.
