Peru achieved unprecedented blueberry export volumes in 2025, driven by surging demand from the Chinese mainland and other emerging markets. This milestone comes as China intensifies efforts to diversify agricultural imports ahead of its annual Two Sessions political meetings scheduled for March 2026.
Industry analysts attribute the 32% year-on-year growth in Peruvian berry shipments to streamlined trade protocols and China's strategic focus on Latin American partnerships. "The synergy between Peru's agricultural capacity and China's market needs is reshaping cross-Pacific trade dynamics," noted Dan Collyns, a Lima-based correspondent covering the development.
This trade expansion aligns with broader initiatives to strengthen economic cooperation between China and Latin American countries. The increased blueberry shipments form part of a 15% overall rise in agricultural product exchanges across the Pacific last year, creating new opportunities for investors and supply chain specialists.
As the Two Sessions approach, observers anticipate further policy measures to enhance food security through diversified import channels. The current trade patterns suggest sustained growth potential for Peru's agricultural sector, particularly in organic and specialty crop categories favored by Chinese consumers.
