Higher prices push up Peru’s apple import value while volumes stay flat

Peru’s apple imports in 2025 were almost unchanged in volume but higher in value year-on-year, according to Agrodata.

Total imports reached 39,037 tonnes, slightly below the 39,290 tonnes imported in 2024 (-1%). Import value, however, increased to US$51.0 million, up from US$47.3 million a year earlier, as average prices moved higher.

Chile remained Peru’s main supplier, shipping 22,404 tonnes worth US$24.9 million. Still, volumes from Chile dropped from 26,604 tonnes in 2024, reducing its share from 59% to 49%. The average price stood at US$1.11/kg.

The United States gained share, supplying 13,924 tonnes valued at US$22.9 million. Its participation rose to 45% of total import value (38% in 2024), with the highest average price among key origins at US$1.65/kg.

Argentina increased shipments to 2,512 tonnes (US$2.9 million), doubling its share to 6%. Smaller volumes arrived from Portugal and other suppliers.
