Peru: Fresh Deciduous Fruit Annual

Grape production in Peru is forecast to set a record year reaching 870,000 metric tons (MT) in marketing year (MY) 2025/2026, an increase of ten percent compared to the previous year. The expected increase would be the result of higher expected yields along the coast and an expansion of the harvest areas. Driven by licensed varietal diversity, favorable weather, and modern production techniques, the Peruvian grape season is expected to set another export record year in a row. Domestic consumption of fresh grapes is forecast at 100,000 MT in MY 2025/2026, a decrease explained by higher quality products for exports. Peruvian grape exports are forecast to reach a record of 770,000 MT in MY 2025/2026, 12 percent higher than the previous year. The United States will continue to be the lead export market.
