Peru adjusts 2025/26 table grape forecast to 84.2 million boxes

Peru has slightly revised its 2025/26 table grape forecast. The Peruvian Table Grape Producers Association (PROVID) now expects the season to close with 84.2 million boxes (8.2 kg each), down from the initial estimate of 86 million.

The adjustment reflects weather impacts, changes in yields per hectare, and field management decisions. The season is expected to finish in week 17.

By week 4 of 2026, exports had already passed 72 million boxes, leaving around 12 million boxes still to ship.
