Peruvian Hass avocado exports continue to grow, increasingly positioning our country as a relevant actor in the trade of this fruit. For the 2025 campaign, Peru's dispatched volumes are expected to reach a record, surpassing 650,000 tons.

In March 2025, national avocado production reached 116,658 tons, representing an 8.4% increase compared to the same month of the previous year. This growth was driven by favorable thermal conditions that accelerated fruit ripening and allowed for expanded harvested areas. Five regions stood out for their contribution to national production: Áncash (124.8%), Lambayeque (57.2%), La Libertad (21.8%), Lima (18.5%), and Ayacucho (16.5%), collectively concentrating 94.1% of the total, according to the technical report Peru: Departmental Economic Panorama, prepared by the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI).

"This increase responded to favorable climatic conditions for flowering, with lower-than-usual temperatures, in addition to the entry into production of new areas in Piura, Motupe, and Casma. However, we faced a serious water shortage due to delayed rainfall, which significantly reduced reservoir levels such as Poechos and San Lorenzo," Vílchez stated. APEM confirmed that Europe remained the main destination, absorbing around 140,000 tons, followed by the United States (113,000 t), Canada (13,000 t), and other markets such as Japan, Korea, and China (frozen ...
