Higher shipments offset softer prices for Peruvian mandarins

Peru’s mandarin exports ended 2025 with steady earnings and higher shipment volumes, according to figures from Agrodata.

Export value reached US$260.28m FOB, almost identical to the US$260.15m recorded in 2024. While revenues held firm, volumes moved higher, climbing 8% year on year to 216.19m kg, compared with 200.37m kg the previous season.

The average export price eased to US$1.20 per kilo, down from US$1.30/kg a year earlier, limiting gains in overall export income despite the stronger flow of fruit.

Shipments were heavily concentrated in the middle of the year. June through August accounted for the largest share of exports, with July standing out as the peak month. During July alone, Peru shipped 71.8m kg of mandarins, generating US$85.6m FOB, the highest monthly total of the season.

The United States remained the leading market by value, well ahead of other destinations. Mexico and the Netherlands followed, while the United Kingdom, Canada, China, Spain and Costa Rica also absorbed meaningful volumes, underscoring broad demand across both American and European markets.
