en.Wedoany.com Reported - From January to April 2026, Peru's total agricultural exports (including traditional and non-traditional products) reached $3.744 billion, a 6.8% increase compared to $3.506 billion in the same period of 2025. The Association of Exporters (ADEX) report indicates that non-traditional products showed stronger dynamism in this growth cycle.
Mario Salazar Vergaray, Chairman of the Agroindustry, Food and Beverage Committee of the Association of Exporters (ADEX), stated that the public and private sectors need to work together to promote Peru's agricultural development through foreign trade. He emphasized that trade agreements can provide crucial support for export growth, and maintaining these agreements while increasing promotional efforts will help more Peruvian products enter international markets. He urged the new government, set to take office on July 28, to ensure regulatory predictability, and mentioned Law No. 32434, enacted in September 2025. This law aims to drive the agricultural sector's transformation towards productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability, integrating small-scale and family farming into the export chain. Mario Salazar Vergaray believes that clear rules help reduce uncertainty, promote investment, and enhance competitiveness, and that the new agricultural law has a positive impact on the development of small producers, especially in mountainous and jungle regions. Another issue of concern for the agricultural export chain is expanding the agricultural frontier, which involves water supply and infrastructure projects to improve transportation efficiency.
According to ADEX Data Trade statistics, in the first four months of this year, exports of agro-industrial (value-added) products reached $3.544 billion, a 5.5% increase compared to the same period in 2025, accounting for 95% of total agricultural exports. Major export products include grapes ($772 million), avocados ($463 million), blueberries ($339.376 million), and mangoes ($266.692 million). The United States led the market with imports of $1.235336 billion, representing a 34% share, followed by the Netherlands ($613 million), Spain ($242 million), Mexico ($167 million), Chile ($143.528 million), Ecuador ($115 million), the United Kingdom ($110 million), Canada ($94 million), China ($89 million), and Colombia ($82.626 million).
Exports from the primary agricultural sector (traditional products) amounted to $200 million, a 35.8% increase year-on-year. Exports of other non-decaffeinated coffee reached $170.336 million, accounting for 85% of total primary sector exports. Other products include cane sugar, molasses, and uncombed or uncarded wool, primarily exported to the United States ($56 million), Colombia ($27.224 million), Belgium ($24 million), Germany ($14.252 million), and Canada ($13 million).
According to CIEN-ADEX data, agricultural exports in 2025 were linked to 876,944 direct jobs.
