Peruvian artichoke exports in February of this year decreased over the same month of the previous year. In February 2025, Peru exported 3,002 tonnes of artichoke worth $ 7.62 million. This is 0.2% less volume and 15.4% less value than in February 2024, a drop attributed to the decrease in export prices. The average price stood at $2.54 per kilogram, i.e. 15.2% less than in the previous year.
The predominant format was processed artichokes, especially canned artichokes, indicating a preference for value-added products in international markets.
