Peru’s cherimoya exports on the rise amid increased demand

Peru’s cherimoya sector posted one of its strongest performances on record between January and August 2025, exporting 734.4 tonnes — a surge of 208% compared to the same period last year. The jump signals the fruit’s growing recognition and consolidation in international markets.

Market analyst Heber Chávez reported that Chile dominated demand, absorbing 88.5% of shipments. Spain followed with 8.7%, while other destinations accounted for the remaining 2.8%.

“This remarkable growth shows the rising acceptance of Peruvian cherimoya in demanding markets, particularly in South America and Europe,” Chávez noted.
