In 2022, Peru was the world's top exporter of blueberries by registering US$1.362 billion in sales abroad, surpassing the United States, Spain, Canada, the Netherlands, and Morocco, the Peruvian Exporters Association reported last week. In 2021, blueberry shipments reached US$1.221 billion, which implied an expansion of 172% compared to 2020.
In recent years, regions and cultivated hectares have increased. By 2016, La Libertad region stood out hosting more than 1,700 hectares, followed by Lima, Lambayeque, Ancash, Ica, and Cajamarca regions. Others, such as Piura and Moquegua, were added due to global demand.
