Peru posts record agro-exports in 2025

Peru closed 2025 with a historic high in agricultural exports, reaching US$15.013 billion, up 17.3% year-on-year, according to the Ministry of Agrarian Development and Irrigation (Midagri).

The result reflects strong external demand and continued expansion of the country’s fresh produce sector, supported by improving logistics and port capacity.

Shipments of flagship products — including blueberries, grapes, avocados — led export performance, with the United States, Europe, and Asia absorbing more than 77% of total export value.

Authorities highlighted the role of upgraded port infrastructure in sustaining shipment flows during peak seasons. Modernised terminals have helped reduce loading times, improve cold-chain handling, and maintain delivery schedules to distant markets.

The Ministry of Transport and Communications noted that more efficient ports are lowering logistics costs and strengthening supply reliability — key factors for perishable exports competing globally.

Growth in non-traditional agro-exports, alongside a positive agricultural trade balance, underscores how logistics investment is becoming central to Peru’s export strategy.

Through the National Port Authority, the government continues to advance port planning and infrastructure development aimed at supporting long-term expansion of the country’s agri-export sector.
