Peru closes a mango season marked by record volumes and difficult weather conditions

The 2024-2025 Peruvian mango season was one of contrasts. While export volumes reached historic levels, climatic and logistical factors tested the sector’s sustainability. According to Carlos Iván Vílchez Peralta, president of APEM, the country exported 286,311 tons, equivalent to more than 71 million 4-kilo boxes, 258% more than in the 2023-2024 season and 13% more than in the 2022-2023 season.

“This increase was due to favorable weather conditions for flowering, with lower temperatures than usual, and the entry into production of new areas in Piura, Motupe, and Casma. However, we faced a serious water shortage due to delayed rains, which significantly reduced reservoir levels in Poechos and San Lorenzo,” Vílchez stated.
