Mexico takes the lion’s share of Peru’s fresh garlic exports in 2025

Mexico has consolidated its position as the dominant destination for Peruvian fresh garlic in January-November 2025, accounting for around 87 percent of total export value, according to Agrodata Peru data covering shipments through November.

During the period, Peru exported 15,162 tonnes of fresh garlic, generating US$42.9 million in FOB value.

While export volumes increased compared with the same period of 2024, average prices eased slightly. The average export price stood at US$2.83 per kg, compared with US$2.80 per kg a year earlier, reflecting a more competitive pricing environment in the main market.

Mexico clearly led demand with shipments reaching US$17.2 million, covering 5,787 tonnes.

By contrast, exports to other destinations were relatively limited. The United States accounted for around US$2.8 million, followed by Australia at US$1.37 million. Smaller volumes were shipped to Ecuador, Spain, Colombia, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Brazil, and Canada, each representing only a marginal share of total exports.
